THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 10619 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners/Accused Nos. 3 to 6 approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings in C.C.No. 140 of 2010 on the file of the III Additional Munsif Magistrate, Ongole. On the complaint given by the 2nd respondent herein, a case in Crime No. 281 of 2010 was registered by Taluk Police Station, Ongole, for the offences punishable under Section 3 read with 7 of ECA Act and Section 420 I.P.C., violation of C1(3) FCO 1985. Heard. On a perusal of the records, it is seen that there are some allegations against the petitioners herein. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial at this stage. But at the same time, since the petitioners are women, this Court is of the view that their presence before the trial Court can be dispensed with. Hence, the petitioners are directed to appear before the trial Court as and when their presence is required. The Criminal Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. -------------------------------- JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 3rd October 2011 ksld
