THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8657 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in D.V.C.No.3 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class at Metpally, Karimnagar District. Heard. The 2nd respondent herein filed the aforementioned D.V.C. against the petitioners herein seeking reliefs under the provisions of Section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. A perusal of the material on record prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioners. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioners herein in the aforesaid D.V.C., and they are directed to face the trial. However, considering the fact that the present case arose out of matrimonial dispute wherein the question of identity of the accused does not arise, the presence of the petitioners 2 to 5 alone before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates on which the learned trial Judge insists for the same and they shall be properly represented by their counsel. The trial Court is directed to conclude the trial within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 21.09.2011 v v
