THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.9923 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners-Accused Nos.4 and 5 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in S.C. No. 148 of 2011 on the file of the Sessions Judge, Mahila Court, Visakhapatnam. Heard. Offences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Sections 498-A, 302, 304-B IPC and Section 120-B read with Section 34 IPC. Since the material on record prima facie reveals that the charges were framed against the accused, trial is also commenced and P.Ws.1 and 2 were also examined in Chief. Under these circumstances, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial at this stage. Considering the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners and also the facts and circumstances of the case, the presence of the petitioners-Accused Nos. 4 and 5, being the ladies is dispensed with before the trial Court except the dates on which the learned Sessions Judge insists for their presence. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 17.10.2011 CHV
