THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No: 6203 of 2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. by the Petitioners-accused 3 to 5 seeking to quash the proceedings against them in S.C.No.129 of 2010 on the file of the Assistant Sessions Judge, Bapatla, whereby they are facing charge for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 354, 509, 457, 323 read with 34 of Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard both sides. On perusal of the record, it is seen that in this matter after due investigation, police filed charge sheet. Charge sheet also reveals prima facie allegations against the petitioners, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings at this stage. In any event, as the matter arises out of matrimonial disputes, wherein the question of identity of the accused does not arise, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court can be dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate directs for their appearance and they shall be properly represented through their Counsel. With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. The Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed along with this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Date: 15-02-2011 KSM/RNS
