THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION NO.6314 OF 2010 ORDER: 1 The petitioners herein are residents of Gopinenipalem village, Vatsavai Mandal, Krishna District. The Sub Divisional Magistrate, Vijayawada initiated proceedings against them under section 107 of Cr.P.C. and the same was numbered as M.C.No.7 of 2010. As the petitioners are residents of Gopinenipalem village, Vatsavai Mandal and the proceedings are initiated at Vijayawada, it is causing them any amount of inconvenience to appear before the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Vijayawada and hence they filed the present petition to quash the proceedings. 2 Having considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, this court is of the view that there is no need for all the petitioners to appear before the Sub Divisional Magistrate at Vijayawada. Apparently, the distance between Gopinenipalem village and Vijayawada is about 70 K.M and it would suffice if two persons represent all the 16 petitioners. 3 Accordingly, petitioners 3 and 16 representing all the petitioners shall appear before the Sub Divisional Magistrate at Vijayawada on every date of adjournment till the said proceedings are concluded. 4 With the above direction, this petition is disposed of. The usual notice to the respondent is dispensed with for the reason that this court is not quashing the said proceedings. -------------- 07.07.2010 Kvsn
