THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.12158 of 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. by the petitioners – Accused seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.170 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kuppam, Chittoor District, whereby they are facing charge for the offences punishable under Section 498(A) IPC. 2. Heard both sides. 3. On perusal of the record, it is seen that in this matter after due investigation, police filed charge sheet. Charge sheet also reveals allegations against the petitioners. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioners at this stage. 4. In any event, as the matter arises out of matrimonial disputes, wherein the question of identity of the accused does not arise, the presence of the petitioners before the court below is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for their appearance and they shall be properly represented through their counsel. 5. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 11th February 2011 Rns
