THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 12363 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners/Accused Nos. 3 to 6 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No. 756 of 2010 on the ﬁle of XII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. Based on the complaint given by the de facto complainant- the 2nd respondent, W.P.S., C.C.S., Hyderabad, registered a case in Crime No. 49 of 2010 for the oﬀences punishable under Sections 498-A, 406 read with 34 I.P.C. and Sections 4 & 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that there is no allegation against the petitioners, attracting the offence punishable under Section 498-A I.P.C. A perusal of the complaint prima facie shows that the allegation levelled against the petitioners is that they misbehaved with the de facto-complainant. Even though this Court is of the view that the said allegation is ﬂimsy in nature, it is a matter for trial before the trial Court. Therefore, the trial Court is directed to appreciate the same in a proper perspective. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed, but however, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for the same and the petitioners shall be properly represented by their counsel before the trial Court. . -------------------------------- JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 01st December 2011 ksld
