IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERAAD Thursday, the 9th day of June, 2011 Present: Hon’ble Sri Justice N. Ravi Shankar Crl.P.No. 3842 of 2011 Between: Bade Subbarami Reddy and others …Petitioners and The State of AP …Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRL.P.No. 3842 of 2011 O r d e r: The petitioners herein are A-1 to A-3 in C.C.No. 372 of 2007 on the file of the court of Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kavali. They filed this petition under section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing the proceedings in the said case against them. The offences alleged are those punishable under sections 143, 144, 448, 352, 427 read with 149 IPC. It is seen that petitioner Nos.2 and 3 are the sons of the first petitioner and there is a dispute between them on one side and the de facto complainant on the other regarding some property and the incident is said to have occurred in connection with that dispute. The prosecution version is that the first petitioner hired A-4 to A-11 to commit the offence. The plea of the petitioners is that they were not present at all at the scene of offence and because of some civil suits and civil disputes between them the case has been foisted. The allegations in the charge sheet would show that A-1 has hired the other accused A-4 to A-11 and A-2 and A-3 are also responsible for the offence. Various contentions raised by the petitioner’s counsel relating to the innocence of the petitioners fall within the purview of disputed questions of fact and this court cannot decide the same. Accordingly this petition is dismissed. 3. However, it is open for the petitioners to apply for dispensing with their presence on every date of hearing before the trial court and as and when such an application is made it shall be open for the trial court to pass appropriate orders thereon. _____________________ N.
