THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1370 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings against him in C.C.No.392 of 2011 on the file of the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate at Nampally, Hyderabad, arising out of Crime No.9 of 2008 for an offence under Section 498(A) IPC. Heard both sides. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that ever since from the date of marriage, the de facto complainant has not lived with the petitioner. But it is seen from the complaint that the complainant also gave birth to a child and further some other allegations are made, which prima facie disclosed that an offence is committed by the petitioner. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings. In any event, the petitioner being a lady and mother-in-law of the complainant, the question of identity does not arise, her presence before the trial court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned Magistrate insists for the same and the petitioner shall be properly represented by her counsel. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. ________________ RAJA ELANGO, J. 14th February 2011, Rns.
