HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.5579 of 2011 Dated 13.7.2011 Between: Guguloth Savithri and another. …Petitioners. And: The State of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and another. …Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.5579 of 2011 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and also the Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. Petitioners herein are A.4 and A.5 in C.C.No.732 of 2010 on the file of the 1st Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kothagudem. They filed this petition seeking to quash the said case against them. The offence alleged are those punishable under Sections 498-A I.P.C. and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners argued at length that these petitioners are innocent and the allegations in the charge sheet also do not show any offences against them. 4. It is difficult to accept the said contention. 5. It may be noted that the concerned police after investigation charge sheeted these two accused also along with other accused. There are allegations in the Charge sheet which disclose the offences against these petitioners also. Hence, it is not a fit case for interference under Section 482 Cr.P.C. 6. It is brought to my notice that both these petitioners are employees and that it would be difficult for them to attend the Court on every date of hearing. Accordingly, their presence before the Court below for every date of hearing is dispensed with and they can be represented by counsel. The trial Court shall, however, have discretion to summon them as and when it considers their presence necessary. It is also made clear that the petitioners can also file discharge petition before the trial Court and as and when such petition is filed, the trial court can dispose of the same. 5. Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is disposed of. _________________________ Justice N.RAVI SHANKAR Dated 13.7.2011. Note: Issue C.C. by 18.7.2011.
