Petitioner-accused and 1) P.Bangaru Muni Reddy 2) The State of A.P. ..Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.356 OF 2011 ORDER: Petitioner-accused approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.201 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Proddatur, Kadapa District. Heard. After arguing for some time, the learned counsel for the petitioner by not pressing for the main prayer confined his arguments only to the extent of dispensing with the presence of the petitioner before the trial Court. Offence alleged against the petitioner is punishable under Sections 138 and 142 of Negotiable Instruments Act. Since the question of identity of the accused does not arise in these type of matters, the presence of the petitioner-accused before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned trial Judge insists for the same and the petitioner shall be properly represented by his counsel before the trial Court. With above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 23.03.2011 sur
