HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7617 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.2 and 3, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.455 of 2010 on the file of the III Addl. Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Tirupathi, Chittoor District, taken on file for the offences under Sections 498-A of I.P.C. and 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that there are no specific allegations against the petitioners herein and the allegations are bald in nature and even if the entire allegations are taken into consideration, they do not constitute any offence much less the offence punishable under Section 498-A IPC. The charge sheet reveals that some allegations would attract an offence not in connection with the demand of dowry, but mental cruelty by the petitioners herein. Further, the said facts are to be decided by the trial Court after due trial. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial, at this stage. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed and the miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. However, taking into consideration the age of the petitioners and also the nature of offences wherein the question of identity of the petitioners before the trial Court does not arise, their appearance before the trial Court is dispensed with, except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for their appearance and they shall be properly represented through their counsel. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 26th August, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Criminal Petition No.7617 of 2011 (Dismissed) 26th August, 2011 cbs
