O R D E R : This Criminal Petition is filed under section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings in DVC.No. 18 of 2010 on the file of the Court of IV Additional Munsif Magistrate, Guntur, which was filed for the offences under section 19 (a) (1-b) (1-d) of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 grant stay of all further proceedings including appearance of the petitioners pending disposal of the main criminal petition and to pass such other suitable orders as this Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned Addl.Public Prosecutor representing the State. 3. On perusal of the record it appears that the offences alleged against the petitioners is under section 19 (a) (1-b) (1-d) of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 (43 of 2005). Prima facie, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings, as there are allegations made by the defacto complainant against the petitioners. The dispute arises between the relatives and hence the question of identity of the petitioners-accused does not arise before the concerned court. Hence, the presence of the petitioners before the trial court is dispensed with and all further proceedings may go on. 4. In view of the observation made in the order, the learned Magistrate is directed to permit the petitioners to be represented through their counsel. However, the petitioners shall attend the concerned court as and when the learned Magistrate specifically directs them to appear before the trial court. 6. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. _______________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 14-02-2011 I s L THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRL.PETITION No. 1322 OF 2011 CIRCULATION No.47 Date:14-02-2011 Court Master: I s L
