CRM No.M-36651 of 2009 The petition has been filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (“CrPC” – for short) seeking quashing of FIR No.55 dated 5.4.2009 registered at Police Station Phillaur, District Jalandhar for the offences under Sections 406, 498-A IPC. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that he does not press for quashing of the FIR. However, it is stated that petitioner No.1 is 65 years of age and petitioner No.2 is more than 70 years of Crl. Misc. No. 21459 of 2010 and [2] CRM No.M-36651 of 2009 age and petitioner No.1 is suffering from various diseases and is under treatment from New Ruby Hospital Private Limited at Jalandhar. A reference has been made to the medical prescriptions (Annexures P4 to P7). Therefore, it is prayed that exemption may be granted to petitioner No.1 from appearance on each date of hearing during trial of the case. Keeping in view the fact that petitioner No.1 is a lady aged 65 years and she is suffering from various ailments, it would be just and expedient that during trial of the case, she is exempted from appearance on each date of hearing. Accordingly, the presence of petitioner No.1 shall be exempted during trial of the case subject to the condition that she appears through her counsel; besides, she files an undertaking that she shall have no objection to the evidence being recorded in her absence and that she shall appear in the Court on the material dates as is required by the learned trial Court. In case such an undertaking is filed, the learned trial Court shall grant her necessary exemption from her appearance in the trial. Crl. Misc. petition stands dismissed. (S.S.
