IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD Tuesday, July 05, 2011 Present: Hon’ble Sri Justice N. Ravi Shankar Crl.P.No. 5057 of 2011 Between: P. Vijaya Durga @ Prithi Durga …Petitioner and The State of AP and another …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR Crl.P.No. 5057 of 2011 O r d e r: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor. 2. In this petition filed under section 482 Cr.P.C. the petitioner herein is seeking quashing of the FIR in Cr.No. 57 of 2011 of P.S., Kaikaluru Town, Krishna District. The petitioner is A-3. The case is registered for the offences punishable under sections 498-A and 324 IPC read with 34 IPC. The allegations in the charge sheet do show that this petitioner being the sister of the de facto complainant’s husband assaulted her and also attributed unchastity to her. The matter is still pending at the stage of investigation. In the circumstances, the relief of quashing the FIR is refused as the police have to complete the investigation to find out the complicity of the petitioner. 3. It is however brought to my notice that the petitioner though on bail is directed to appear before the concerned jurisdictional Magistrate’s court on the dates fixed by the said court. It should be noted that once bail is granted, the court cannot summon the presence of the accused or insist for his/her presence until charge sheet is filed. If what the petitioner’s counsel says is true, the presence of the petitioner before the concerned jurisdictional Magistrate is dispensed with till filing of the charge sheet and thereupon the said court may decide about the matter. However if before filing of charge sheet any necessity is shown for the presence of the accused for any other purpose the court can consider the same and dispose of any such application according to Law. 4. Accordingly the petition is disposed of. _____________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J. July 5, 2011. *BVS
