HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6447 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in D.V.C.No.12 of 2011 on the file of the II Addl. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Vijayawada. Heard both sides. 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 them at this stage. In any event, considering the nature of the allegations and as the petitioners and the 2nd 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 2nd August, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Criminal Petition No.6447 of 2011 (Disposed of) 2nd August, 2011 cbs
