THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8100 of 2008 ORDER: Petitioner approached this Court invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in C.C.No.401 of 2008 on the file of the VIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, whereby he is facing trial for the offence punishable under Sections 498(A), 420 and 506 IPC and 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard. Admittedly, there is no stay even though the petition filed in the year 2008. Learned counsel for the petitioner is not in a position to say whether the trial is completed or not. In any event, since the alleged offence took place in the year 2008 and also the offence is under Section 498-A IPC, the presence of the petitioner before the court below is hereby dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for the same and he shall properly be represented through his 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 15th December 2011 Rns
