THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7765 OF 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court by invoking the provisions under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking to quash the proceedings against them in S.C.No.344 of 2011 on the file of the Principal Assistant Sessions Judge, Nandyal, Kurnool District, wherein they are arrayed as accused for the offence punishable under Sections 143, 354 and 355 IPC read with 34 IPC. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State. After arguing for sometime, learned counsel for the petitioners confined his arguments as far as petitioners 3 to 6 are concerned. He submitted that except the petitioners 3 to 6 are present at the place of occurrence, which comes under Section 143 IPC, there is nothing to attract the other offences under Sections 354 and 355 IPC. On perusal of the record, this Court is of the view that only the offence under Section 143 IPC is made out against petitioners 3 to 6. As far as the allegations against the other petitioners are concerned, this Court is not inclined to express any opinion, as the same has to be decided at the time of trial only. As far as petitioners 3 to 6 are concerned, their presence 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 above observations, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 29th August 2011 Rns
