HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITON No.6813 OF 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings against them in C.C. No.151 of 2011 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Lakkireddypally, Kadapa District, in which they were arrayed as accused Nos.2 to 4 for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A IPC and 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 2. Heard. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the charge sheet does not disclose any offence committed by the petitioners herein. 4. In case, this Court wants to quash a case pending before it, it has to look into the statements and also the complaint lodged by the complaint. This Court perused the complaint and also other material on record. This Court is of the view that there are some prima facie allegations against the petitioners, which are to be tried by the trial Court. 5. The next contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioners is that earlier the 2nd respondent lodged a complaint on 24-09-2010, but, no action has been taken by the police, and further the present complaint is lodged on 14-04-2011. He further contended that from 24-09-2010, the 2nd respondent was not living with the husband and the petitioners herein. The said fact is to be tried by the trial Court as the same is a fact in dispute, which cannot be a ground to quash the proceedings against the petitioners. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial. 7. In any event, considering the nature of allegations wherein the question of identity of the petitioners - accused Nos.2 to 4 does not arise, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with, except on the dates the learned trial Judge insists for his presence and the petitioner shall be properly represented by their counsel before the trial Court. 8. With the above observation, the criminal petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions pending in this criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. ______________ RAJA ELANGO, J August 09, 2011 KTL
