THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION Nos.2954, 2955, 2956 & 2957 of 2010 COMMON ORDER: Since the petitioner and the 2nd respondent-complainant in all these petitions are common and since the point involved in these petitions is one and the same, these four petitions are being disposed of by this common order. Petitioner-A1 in all these petitions seeks quashing of the proceedings initiated against him in C.C. Nos. 127, 128, 129 and 130 of 2009 on the file of the IV Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Ibrahimpatnam, Ranga Reddy District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 419, 423, 468, 471 read with Section 120 (B) of I.P.C. The 2nd respondent-complainant filed private complaints against the petitioner-A1 and others for the offences punishable under Sections 416, 464. 468, 471 and read with Section 120 (B) of I.P.C. before the IV Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Ibrahimpatnam, Ranga Reddy District, which were referred to the Police Station, Maheswaram for investigation and report. The Inspector of Police, Maheshwaram P.S registered it as Crime Nos.60, 62, 63 and 65 of 2008 respectively against the petitioner- A1 and others under the aforesaid Sections. Eventually, after completion of investigation, the Inspector of Police, Maheshwaram P.S., Cyberabad, filed charge sheets for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 419, 423, 468, 471 read with Section 120 (B) of I.P.C and the same were numbered as C.C.Nos. 127, 128, 129 and 130 of 2009 on the file of the IV Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Ibrahimpatnam, Ranga Reddy District. Having heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner at length and when this Court is about to dismiss these criminal petitions, the learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that since the petitioner-A1 herein is aged about 80 years, his presence may be dispensed with during the course of trial before the Court below. This Court is not inclined to dispense with the presence of the petitioner-A1 since the petitioner has so many remedies that are available to him under the provisions of Criminal Procedure Code viz., provisions of Sections 317 and 205 Cr.P.C. It is always open to the petitioner-A1 to approach the Court below and file appropriate applications seeking to dispense with his personal attendance and I am sure the Court below will take into consideration the age of the petitioner-A1 before passing any orders. With the above observation, all these Criminal Petitions are dismissed. ____________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 05-07-2010 Gsn.
