THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.3016 of 2009 ORDER: Petitioners approached this Court invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.979 of 2007 on the file of the Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Ananthapur, whereby they are facing trial for the offence punishable under Sections 498(A) of IPC and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. This court perused the record and heard the arguments. After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioners confined his arguments to the extent of dispensation of the presence of the petitioners before the court below. Admittedly, as the charge sheet reveals some allegations against all the petitioners, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial. However, in view of the fact that the offence arises out of matrimonial disputes, the presence of the petitioners before the court below is hereby dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for the same and they shall properly be represented through their counsel. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 22nd December 2011 Rns
