RAVI SHANKAR Crl.P.No. 5003 of 2011 O r d e r: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor. 2. The petitioner is A-2 in C.C.No. 141 of 2006 on the file of the court of Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Srikalahasti, Chittoor District. The offences alleged are those punishable under section 498-A IPC and Ss. 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act read with S. 109 IPC. The petitioner is stated to be the father-in-law of the de facto complainant. The allegations in the charge sheet do disclose the offences against this petitioner also. Hence there are no grounds to entertain this petition. 3. It is brought to my notice that the petitioner is aged 76 years and is not in a position to regularly attend the trial court on every date of hearing because of his age related problems. In these circumstances, the presence of the petitioner for every date of hearing before the trial court is dispensed with and he can be represented by his counsel. The trial court can however summon the petitioner to be personally present whenever it considers his presence necessary. 4. This petition is accordingly disposed of. _____________________ N.
