THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1218 of 2011 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. by the petitioner – accused No.11 seeking to quash the proceedings against him in C.C.No.254 of 2007 on the file of the IV Additional Munsif Magistrate, Chittoor. 2. Heard both sides. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner-A11 submitted that the petitioner was falsely implicated in this crime and he is no way concerned with the alleged offence and merely he being the owner of the lodge, he is arrayed as an accused. Since the allegations against the petitioner are punishable under Sections 3, 4(1) and 4(2) of the Prevention of Immoral Traffic Act, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioner at this stage and the petitioner is at liberty to raise all the contentions before the trial Court at the time of trial. 4. In any event, taking into consideration the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the presence of the petitioner before the court below is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for his appearance and he shall be properly represented through his 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.
