THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.5717 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners/A-2 & A-3 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.449 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Palakonda. Heard. Offences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Since the material on record prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial at this stage. Hence, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. In any event, considering the fact that the offences alleged against the petitioners arose out of matrimonial disputes, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned trial Judge insists for their presence and the petitioners shall be properly represented by their counsel. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 28.09.2011 v v
