THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2815 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is filed by the petitioner seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against him in P.R.C.No.19 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Machilipatnam, Krishna District. Heard. The offences alleged against the petitioner are punishable under Sections 354, 498 and 506 of Indian Penal Code. A reading of the charge sheet prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioner. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioner at this stage. In any event considering the nature of allegations, the presence of the petitioner before the Committal Court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned Magistrate insists for the same and the petitioner shall be properly represented through his counsel. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 29.03.2011 v v
