Heard. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the de facto complainant already informed the police that the present petitioner is not present in the place of occurrence. Even after that, the charge sheet has been filed against the petitioner herein. 4. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that the complainant had already stated regarding the presence of the petitioner and his involvement in the crime. 5. Hence, it is a matter to be tried by the trial Court and this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings at this stage. 6. In any event, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the presence of the petitioner- accused before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for his appearance and he shall be properly represented through his counsel. 7. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. ________________ RAJA ELANGO, J. 7th March 2011, Rns.
