THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.12442 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners-Accused approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No. 100 of 2009 on the file of Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kothavalasa, Vizianagaram District. Heard. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and they have been falsely implicated in the above case; none of the provisions mentioned in the complaint are attracted in the present case; there is no mention about the delay of disintegration except saying that the time for disintegration is 15 minutes; hence prayed to quash the impugned proceedings. The learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that in these type of cases, learned Magistrates are taking lenient views by imposing punishment of fine only and prayed for a similar direction to the Magistrate to impose only fine. Under these circumstances, I do not find any merits in the contention of the petitioners to grant the above direction. However, the learned Magistrate is directed to consider the submissions of the petitioners at the time of pronouncing the judgment. Considering the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners and also the facts and circumstances of the case, the presence of the petitioners is dispensed with before the trial Court except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for their presence. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 7.12.2011 CHV
