IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERAAD Tuesday, the 21th day of June, 2011 Present: Hon’ble Sri Justice N. Ravi Shankar Crl.P.No. 4744 of 2011 Between: Shaik Shahir vli and others …Petitioners and The State of AP and another …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR Crl.P.No. 4744 of 2011 O r d e r: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor. 2. The petitioners are A-1 to A-3 in C.C.No. 3 of 2010 on the file of the court of I Metropolitan Magistrate, Vijayawada. The offences alleged are those punishable under sections 498-A IPC and Ss. 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. A perusal of the charge sheet would show that it does contain allegations pertaining to the offences in question. But, of course whether prosecution case is true or not has to be decided on evidence and that can be done only by the trial court and not in these proceedings. Hence there is no ground to entertain this petition. This petition is accordingly dismissed. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners however say that the second petitioner is an aged person and the third petitioner is a lady and they are the parents-in-law of the de facto complainant. In the circumstances having regard to their ages, their presence before the trial court on every date of hearing is dispensed with and they can be represented by their counsel. It shall be open for the trial court to order the presence of petitioners 2 and 3 as and when it considers their presence necessary. This relief is however refused to the first petitioner. The trial court shall dispose of the case as early as possible. 4. With these directions the criminal petition is disposed off. _____________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J. June 21, 2011. *BVS
