THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7749 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners/Accused Nos.1 & 2 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.520 of 2008 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Gudur, wherein they are facing trial for the offences punishable under Sections 323, 341 and 506 read with Section 34 IPC. Learned counsel for the petitioners, while not insisting for the main prayer, prayed this Court to dispense with the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court. He further submitted that since C.C.No.520 of 2007 is pending before the trial Court for the last four years, the learned Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Gudur, may be directed to dispose of the said case expeditiously. Considering the nature of the allegations and the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with, except on the dates the learned trial Judge insists for the same and the petitioners shall be properly represented through their counsel before the trial Court. Further, the learned Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Gudur, is directed to conclude the trial in C.C.No.520 of 2007 within a period of six months from today. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 29.08.2011 v v
