HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2698 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.2 and 3, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.55 of 2011 on the file of Special Judicial Magistrate of First Class for Prohibition and Excise, Ananthapur. Heard both sides. The offences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. It is seen from the record that after due investigation, the police laid charge sheet against the petitioners and the learned Magistrate took cognizance of the offence and numbered the same as calendar case. Further, the charge sheet prima facie reveals specific allegations against the petitioners. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioners at this stage. In any event, taking into consideration the nature of allegations wherein the question of identity of the petitioners before the trial Court does not arise, their appearance before the trial Court is dispensed with, except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for their appearance and they shall be properly represented through their counsel. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 25th March, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.No.2698 of 2011 (Disposed of) 25th March, 2011 CBS
