HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.974 of 2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.2 to 5, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in P.R.C.No.51 of 2009 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Adoni, Kurnool. Heard. The offences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Sections 498-A, 307 IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Admittedly, after due investigation, the police laid charge sheet against the petitioners and the learned Magistrate took cognizance of the offence and numbered the same as calendar case. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings at this stage. In any event, taking into consideration the nature of allegations 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. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 23rd March, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.No.974 of 2010 (Disposed of) 23rd March, 2011 CBS
