IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE TWENTIETH DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT: HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.4073 of 2009 Between: Kochiri Nagendram and others ... PETITIONERS/A-8 to A-10 in A-party a n d State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad and others … RESPONDENTS/COMPLAINANTS ORDER: The petitioners 1 to 4 who are No.s 8 to 11 of ‘A’ party question F.I.R. in Crime No.84 of 2009 of Amaravathi Police Station on the basis of which summonses were issued by the Sub- Divisional Magistrate, Guntur. 2. The only ground of attack urged by the petitioners’ counsel is that the petitioners being ladies have no role to play along with the other male members in the same case. It all depends upon the facts and circumstances of each case. Guntur district has got history where women also participated in battles. So nothing can be concluded on the basis of gender of the party. It is contended that one of the petitioner was in prenatal days during that period. 3. In the circumstances, I do not find any reason to quash F.I.R. or proceedings before the Executive Magistrate under Section 107 Cr.P.C., in this petition. 4. In the result, the petition is dismissed. However, the Sub- Divisional Magistrate, Guntur is directed not to insist on personal attendance of the petitioners 1 to 4 who are No.s 8 to 11 of ‘A’ party during enquiry of the case, except on the day when he is going to deliver the order. ________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J August 20, 2010.
