THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.11072 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioners-accused filed the present criminal petition with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in D.V.C. No. 24 of 2011 on the file of the IV Chief Metropolitan Magistrate,Vijayawada. The 2nd respondent filed the aforementioned D.V.C. under Sections 18,19 and 20 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioners has confined his arguments to the extent of dispensation of the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court. Considering the submission of the learned counsel and since the question of identity of the petitioners-accused does not arise in this matter, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for the same and the petitioners shall be properly represented by their 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 : 10th November, 2011 pnb
