O R D E R : This Criminal Petition is filed under section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings against the petitioner in CC.No. 155 of 2005 on the file of the Court of Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Badvel, Kadapa district, stay of all further proceedings including appearance of the petitioners, pending disposal of the main criminal petition and to pass such other suitable orders as this Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Addl.Public Prosecutor representing the State. 3. On perusal of the record, it appears that the defacto complainant made allegations with regard to the harassment being meted out in her domestic life against the petitioner attracting the offences under section 498-A IPC and section 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Prima facie, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings, as there are serious allegations made by the defacto complainant against the petitioner and the same have to be enquired into by the learned Magistrate. Hence, this Court is not inclined to stay all further proceedings. However, the dispute arises between the defacto complainant and the petitioner and hence the question of identity of the petitioner-accused does not arise before the concerned court. Hence, the presence of the petitioner before the trial court is dispensed with and all further proceedings may go on. 4. In view of the observation made in the order, the learned Magistrate is directed to permit the petitioner to be represented through his counsel. However, the petitioners shall attend the concerned court as and when the learned Magistrate specifically directs him to appear before the trial court. 6. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. _______________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 14-02-2011 I s L THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRL.PETITION No. 1311 OF 2011 CIRCULATION No. Date:14-02-2011 Court Master: I s L
