THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1203 of 2011 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. by the petitioners – Accused seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.196 of 2009 on the file of the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, arising out of Crime No.337 of 2008 of Women Police Station, CCS, Hyderabad, registered for the offences punishable under Section 498(A) of IPC. 2. Heard both sides. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that except some bald allegations, no other allegations made against the petitioners herein and after arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioners-accused withdrawing the main prayer, confined his arguments requesting the Court to dispense with the presence of the petitioners before the court below. 4. Since the allegations made against the petitioners are punishable under Section 498(A) IPC and the police filed charge sheet after due investigation, this Court is not inclined to stay the proceedings. In any event, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners and also in view of the fact that the matter arises out of matrimonial disputes, where the question of identity of the accused does not arise, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for their appearance and they shall be properly represented through their counsel. 5. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. ________________ RAJA ELANGO, J. 9th February 2011, Rns.
