THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10573 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners – accused 2 and 3 approach this Court by invoking the provisions under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings against them in C.C.No.369 of 2011 on the file of the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally, Hyderabad, whereby the petitioners are facing trial for the offence punishable under Sections 498(A) and 406 IPC and 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard both sides. The main contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioners is that the petitioners are no way concerned with the family affairs of their son A1 and his wife, who are residing at U.S.A. prior to the marriage and after the marriage. Originally, the complainant herself harassed the first petitioner for which he filed a divorce O.P. before the concerned Court in U.S.A. and as a counterblast, the present complaint is lodged and the allegations made by the complainant are false and incorrect and they never demanded for additional dowry. This Court is of the view that the above contentions are to be decided at the time of trial only and the petitioners are directed to raise all the points before the trial Court and this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial at this stage. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. However, since the offence arises out of matrimonial disputes, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for the same and they shall properly be represented through their counsel. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 2nd November 2011, Rns.
