THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7670 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners – accused 2 to 4 approach this Court by invoking the provisions under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings against them in C.C.No.250 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Zaheerabad, whereby the petitioners are facing trial for the offence punishable under Sections 498(A) of IPC. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State. It is the case of the prosecution that the marriage of the first accused and the de facto complainant took place in the year 2008. After the marriage, she lived with the first accused only for one month. Later, at the instigation of other accused, who are the petitioners herein, the first accused started harassing the complainant both physically and mentally demanding additional dowry. Unable to bear the said harassment, she filed the present complaint. The main contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioners is that the petitioners are no way concerned with the allegations made by the complainant and only to harass them a false complaint is lodged by the complainant. He further submits that the complainant herself deserted the company of A1. This Court is of the view that the above contentions are to be decided at the time of trial only and this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial at this stage. In any event, considering the nature of allegations, where the question of identity of the accused does not arise, the presence of the petitioners-A2 to A4 before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for the same and the petitioners shall properly be represented through their counsel. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 27th August 2011 Rns
