HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7911 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-respondent Nos.1 to 3, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in D.V.C.No.22 of 2010 on the file of the III Addl. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Visakhapatnam. 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 and, accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed and the miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. 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 identity of the petitioners before the trial Court does not arise, their appearance 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. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 5th September, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.No.7911 of 2011 (Dismissed) 5th September, 2011 cbs
