THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.9231 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.229 of 2011 on the file of the I-Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Bhimavaram, West Godavari District. Heard. Offence alleged against the petitioners is punishable under Section 498-A read with Section 34 IPC. Since the material on record prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioners, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial. Hence, the criminal petition is dismissed. In any event, since the offence alleged arose out of matrimonial disputes wherein the question of identity of the accused does not arise, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned trial Judge insists for their presence and the petitioners shall be properly represented by their counsel. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 29.09.2011 v v
