Petitioner-A.1 and The State of A.P. & another ..Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.49 OF 2011 ORDER: Petitioner-A.1 approaches this Court with this Criminal Petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.685 of 2009 on the file of the Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Vizianagaram. Heard. Offence alleged against the petitioners is punishable under Sections 406 and 498A of Indian Penal Code and 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Initially, the second respondent herein filed a private complaint before the learned Magistrate, which was referred to Police under Section 156 (3) Cr.P.C. and after due investigation into the same Police also filed charge sheet. Thus, this Court is of the view that prima facie material is available on record to proceed further with case against the accused. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioner. In any event, considering the nature of allegations wherein the question of identity of the accused persons does not arise, the presence of the petitioner before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned trial Judge insists for the same. Petitioner shall be properly represented by his counsel. With above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 01.02.2011 sur
