In any event considering the nature of allegations wherein the question of identity of the accused does not arise, the presence of the petitioner before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned trial Judge insists for the same and the petitioner shall be properly represented by his counsel before the trial Court. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 08.02.2011 sur
