HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.658 of 2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-respondents 1 to 4, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in D.V.C.No.9 of 2009 on the file of the XI Addl. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Secunderabad. Heard. Since the allegations made against the petitioners are punishable under the provisions of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioners at this stage. In any event, considering the nature of the allegations and as the petitioners and the 1st respondent are known to each other, the question of identify of the petitioners before the trial Court does not arise, the appearance of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for their appearance and they are permitted to be represented through their counsel. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of and the miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 23rd March, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.No.658 of 2010 (Disposed of) 23rd March, 2011 CBS
