THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6006 of 2010 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in CFR.No.3179 of 2009 in D.V.C.No. – of 2009 on the file of the V Additional Munsif Magistrate, Guntur. Heard. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that a case was registered against the petitioners for the offence punishable under Section 498-A IPC and, after due investigation, the respondent police deleted the names of the petitioners from the said case and filed the charge sheet only against the other persons concerned, hence, prayed this Court to quash the proceedings against the petitioners in CFR.No.3179 of 2009 in D.V.C.No. – of 2009 on the file of the V Additional Munsif Magistrate, Guntur. This Court is of the view that the proceedings under the Code of Criminal Procedure and the proceedings under Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act are two different aspects. Therefore, the ground on which the learned counsel for the petitioners sought to quash the proceedings against the petitioners in the present case cannot be considered. In any event, since the allegations leveled against the petitioners arose out of matrimonial dispute and the question of identity of the accused does not arise, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned trial Judge insists for the same and the petitioners shall be properly represented by their counsel before the trial Court. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 09.03.2011 v v
