THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7207 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court by invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. with a prayer to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.158 of 2008 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Srikakulam, where they are arrayed as accused for the offence punishable under Sections 3, 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 2. Heard both sides. 3. The main grievance of the petitioners herein is that on the same set of facts originally three crimes were registered and subsequently two Crime Nos.196 and 197 of 2007 were directed to be clubbed together and the respondent-police filed a charge sheet in C.C. No.158/08. Prior to that on the basis of the third complaint a charge sheet was filed against the petitioner in C.C.No.1026/08. In C.C.No.158/08 the alleged offence is under Section 498-A IPC and in C.C No.1026/08 also the alleged offence is under Section 498-A IPC. Learned counsel submitted that both cases arise out of same allegations and the period also one and the same. Hence, he prayed to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.158 of 2008. 4. In the circumstances, this court is not inclined to interfere with the trial. However, considering the submissions of the learned counsel, this Court is of the view that the said calendar cases can be tried together. Accordingly, the learned magistrate is directed to club the cases together and to conduct a common trial and pass judgement. 5. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 19th August 2011 Rns
