THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRL.P.NO.4784 OF 2009 ORDER 1. Heard the petitioners’ counsel and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. The petitioners herein are A2 to A6 in C.C.No.789 of 2008 on the ﬁle of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class at Kodad, Nalgonda District. They ﬁled this petition to quash the proceedings in the said criminal case so far as they are concerned. 3. The oﬀences alleged are those punishable under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioners pointed out that the allegations in the charge sheet, even if believed, do not disclose any oﬀence against these petitioners. 5. I am unable to agree with this contention as the allegations do disclose that they have subjected the de facto complainant to harassment for money and also for other reasons. 6. Having regard to the allegations, I am of the opinion that this is not a ﬁt case for interference under Section 482 Cr.P.C and accordingly that relief is refused. It is seen that no notice has been taken out to the second respondent, but in view of the fact that the relief for quashing the case is rejected, no notice is necessary. 7. It is reported that 1st and 2nd petitioners are aged people and 4th and 5th petitioners are ladies and they have their own problems in attending the trial Court for every date of hearing in the case. 8. In the circumstances, the presence of petitioners 1, 2, 4 and 5 for every date of hearing before the trial Court is dispensed with subject of- course to the discretion of the trial Court to order their presence as and when it considers necessary for their examination. So far as 3rd petitioner is concerned, this relief is also refused. 9. Accordingly, the criminal petition is disposed of. ____________________ N.RAVI SHANKAR,J rkk Dated: 24-11-2011
