THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 4879 of 2011 ORDER: The present Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners/A2 to A4 under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 to quash the proceedings in S.C. No.54 of 2011 on the file of the III Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Hyderabad for the offence under Section 498-A, 302 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short “IPC”). Evidently, the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that there is no prima facie material to proceed against the accused. During the course of P.R.C. or when the matter was committed to the Court of Sessions, the petitioners have not complained about the insufficiency of the evidence against them. The learned Magistrate, after taking the primary material into consideration, has committed the case to the Court of Sessions. There are statements of the witnesses about the offence alleged against the accused persons. When a serious charge under Section 302 read with Section 34 of IPC, which is also associated with Section 498-A of IPC, at this stage, it is not permissible, in the interest of justice, to exercise the extraordinary power to quash the proceedings. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ________________________ N.R.L. NAGESWARA RAO, J Date: 08-07-2011 MR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.
