HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.4929 OF 2008 ORDER: This criminal petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is filed by the petitioners-accused 1, 3, 4 and 5 with a prayer to quash the proceedings in P.R.C.No.19 of 2004 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kovur, arising out of a case registered for the offences under Sections 366-A, 354, 341, 323 and 506 read with Sec.34 IPC on a private complaint filed by the second respondent herein. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioners not insisting for the main prayer, prayed for dispensation of the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court. Taking into consideration the allegations and the offences, this Court is not inclined to grant the relief. In any event, learned counsel persuaded and submitted that the petitioners are ready to appear before the Court at the time of trial when the witnesses are directed to be present to depose before the Court. In view of the same, the presence of the petitioners is dispensed with before the Court below, except the dates on which the learned trial Judge insist for their appearance. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Date:22.07.2010 Rns
