THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 11670 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner-Accused approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in C.C.No.375 of 2009 on the file of the VI Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Rajahmundry, whereby he is facing charge for the offence punishable under Sections 498-A IPC and 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner herein is the younger brother of the first accused and he is no way concerned with the family affairs of the first accused, who is none other than the husband of the complainant. In this matter, the charge sheet filed by the police after completion of investigation reveals some allegations against the petitioner also. 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 as the offence arises out of matrimonial disputes, the presence of the petitioner before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for the same and he shall properly be represented through his 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 21st November 2011 Rns
