RAVI SHANKAR CRL.P.No. 4355 of 2011 O r d e r: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor. 2. The petitioners are A-1 and A-2 in C.C.No. 255 of 2008 on the file of the court of Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Addanki, Prakasham District. The charge is one under section 420 IPC. They filed this petition for quashing the proceedings in the said case on the ground that no case is there against them. 3. I have gone through the allegations in the charge sheet and it cannot be said that they do not disclose any offence even if they are believed. The learned counsel for the petitioners raised various contentions regarding the circumstances under which the money is said to have been given which are shown in the charge sheet and contended that at best these allegations raise only a civil dispute. All these contentions fall within the purview of disputed questions of fact and hence there are no grounds to interfere in this matter. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioners then submitted that the second petitioner is a lady aged 49 years, she got her own problems in attending the court regularly and therefore her presence may be dispensed with and he made a similar representation with regard to the first petitioner also, who is a male. 5. In the circumstances, having regard to the fact that the second petitioner is a lady, her presence alone before the trial court on every date of hearing is dispensed with and she can be represented by her counsel. 6. With the above direction this criminal petition is dismissed at the admission stage. _____________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J. June 15, 2011. *BVS
