Heard. After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioners confined his arguments to the extent of dispensation of the presence of the petitioners before the court below. In this matter after completion of investigation police filed charge sheet. Charge sheet reveals prima facie allegations against the petitioners. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial at this stage. In any event, considering the facts and circumstances of the case and in view of the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, as the offence arises out of matrimonial disputes, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for the same and they shall properly be represented through their counsel. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed along with the Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 14th December 2011 Rns
