HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR Criminal Petition No.2466 of 2009 Date: 16-11-2011 Between Kum. Atiya Zabeen and another … Petitioners/Accused 4 and 5 and Smt. Syeed Begum … Respondent/De facto complainant The State of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad … Respondent/Complainant HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR Criminal Petition No.2466 of 2009 Order: Heard Sri A.Ravi Shankar, learned counsel for the petitioners- accused 4 and 5, and Sri K.Venkateswara Rao, learned counsel, representing the learned Public Prosecutor for the 2nd respondent-State. 2. Ms. Naseeb Afshan, learned counsel for the 1st respondent-de facto complainant, is not present. 3. The petitioners herein are the accused 4 and 5 in C.C.No.48 of 2008 on the file of the Court of XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. They filed this petition for quashing the proceedings against them in the said case. 4. The offences alleged against the petitioners and also the other accused are those punishable under Sections 498-A and 506 of IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. It is stated in the complaint that these two petitioners are the sister and brother, respectively, of the de facto complainant’s husband. The prosecution version is that these two petitioners also joined the husband of the de facto complainant and her parents-in-law in harassing her. It is also alleged that these two petitioners also joined the parents-in-law of the de facto complainant in making an attempt on her life. 5. Having regard to the said allegations, it cannot be said that no offences are made out against these petitioners. Accordingly, I find that this is not a fit case for quashing the case and therefore that relief is refused. 6. It is brought to my notice that the 1st petitioner is a lady, aged about 22 years and it is stated that because of her own problems she cannot attend the Court regularly on every date of hearing in the case. 7. In the circumstances, the presence of the 1st petitioner- accused No.4 alone is dispensed with before the trial Court for every date of hearing, but subject to the orders of the trial Court, which it may pass for her attendance whenever it considers her attendance before it necessary. 8. This criminal petition is accordingly disposed of. _____________________ N.RAVI SHANKAR, J. 16th November, 2011.
