IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD DATED: THIS the 21st day of April, 2011 PRESENT: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G. SHANKAR CRL.P.No. 7080 of 2008 Between: Chepuri Buchaiah and othes ..Petitioner and Chepuri Shankaraiah and another Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G. SHANKAR CRL.P.No. 7080 of 2008 Order: The petitioners seek for quashing of FIR in Cr.No. 417 of 2007 of Sircilla P.S., Karimnagar District. They have allegedly committed the offences under sections 448, 452, 427 and 504 IPC. The first respondent is the de facto complainant. He is no other than the father of the first petitioner. The first respondent is described to be 75 years old. Petitioner Nos. 1 to 3 were described to be 49 years, 47 years and 30 years old. Out of them, the second petitioner is a lady. 2. The learned counsel for the first respondent/de facto complainant pointed out that this petition has become infructuous as the charge sheet was already laid against petitioners and has been registered as C.C.No. 467 of 2008 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Sircilla. The learned counsel for the petitioners sought time to verify and report about filing of the charge sheet and registering the same. 3. Indeed, this petition would become infructuous, if the charge sheet is laid, since this petition is for the quashing of the FIR. However, the main apprehension of the petitioners would appear to be about their regular appearance before the criminal court, which may cause inconvenience and perhaps embarrassment to them. 4. Therefore, disregarding the question whether the charge sheet was already laid by the police and its was registered as a calendar case, I consider that the ends of justice would be met in the event the petitioners are granted permission not to appear before the trial court, in the event the trial court has already taken the case on file against the accused on the filing of the charge sheet by the police. Indeed, the trial court would always be at liberty to call the accused to the court for any eventualities. 5. This petition accordingly is disposed of directing the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Sircilla to proceed with the case, in the event the charge sheet was laid by the police on the basis of the FIR and dispose of the case. The presence of the petitioners to appear before the trial court, in such an event is dispensed with, subject to the condition that the petitioners shall appear before the trial court at the time of the framing of charges, if any, for examination of the accused under section 313 Cr.P.C., if any and for the judgment of the court, if any. The learned trial Judge would also be at liberty to direct the petitioners to be present in the court on any other day subject to passing such direction by the learned judge for reasons to be recorded in writing. _____________________ K.G.
