THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10182 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioners-Accused Nos. 12,13 and 14 filed the present criminal petition with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No. 90 of 2010 on the file of the Station House Officer, Sircilla Police Station, Karimnagar District, for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 494 of I.P.C. and 3 & 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioners confined his arguments to the extent of dispensation of the presence of the petitioners before the investigating officer. Considering the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners and in view of the fact that the offences arise out of matrimonial disputes, the presence of the petitioners before the investigating officer is dispensed with till the filing of charge sheet. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 21.10.2011 pnb
