THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2940 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings against them in S.C.No.15 of 2011 on the file of the V Additional District and Sessions Judge and Special Judge for trial of SC & ST(POA) Cases, Nellore. Heard. Offences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Sections 323 IPC and 3(1)(X) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. Since the charge sheet prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioners, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial at this stage. In any event, considering the nature of allegations, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned Sessions Judge insists for the same and the petitioners shall be properly represented by their counsel before the trial Court. 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 1st April 2011 Rns
