HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.No. 1241 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners approaches this Court with this Criminal Petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking to quash the proceedings against them in D.V.C.No.8 of 2010 on the file of the IV Additional Junior Civil Judge, Guntur. Heard. The offences alleged against the petitioners are under Sections 12, 18, 19, 20 and 21 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. Admittedly, after due investigation, Police filed charge sheet against the petitioners. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioners at this stage. In any event, considering the nature of the allegations, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with, except on the dates on which the learned trial Judge insists for the same and petitioners shall be properly represented by their counsel. With above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Date: 09-02-2011 YCR
