HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.6008 of 2011 Dated 20.7.2011 Between: Anisetty Ramulu and another. …Petitioners. And: Pabbineedi Devika and another. …Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.6008 of 2011 ORDER: Heard Sri T.Pradyumna Kumar Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners and also the learned additional Public Prosecutor. 2. The case is registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A I.P.C. and 3, 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 3. Both the petitioners are A.2 and A.3 and they are husband and wife and are parents-in-law of the defacto complainant. The 1st accused is the husband of the defacto complainant. 4. The allegations in the charge sheet would show that they do disclose prima facie offences mentioned supra against these petitioners also. 5. The learned counsel for the petitioners pointed out that these two petitioners are innocent and they stay at Rajahmundry which is far away from the place where the defacto complainant and her husband resided and have nothing to do with their family life. It is true that they are described as residents of a village in East Godavari District. 6. It should however be noted that the charge sheet shows that the two petitioners had instigated A.1 to turn against the defacto complainant. 7. Learned counsel for the petitioners raised various pleas showing that the petitioners are innocent but it is difficult to decide the truthfulness or otherwise of those pleas in this petition and are to be decided only on evidence. In the circumstances, the relief for quashing the case is rejected. 8. It is brought to my notice that the 1st petitioner is aged 68 years and the 2nd petitioner who is a lady is aged 57 years and they have their own age related problems in attending the trial Court. In the circumstances, the presence of these two petitioners for every date of hearing before the trial Court is dispensed with and they can be represented by their counsel. The trial Court shall however have the power to summon both these petitioners before it as and when it considers their presence necessary. 9. Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is disposed of. ____________________________ Justice N.RAVI SHANKAR Dated 20.7.2011 Dvs HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.6008 of 2011 Dated 20.7.2011
