THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRL.P.NO.8050 OF 2011 ORDER The petitioners-accused preferred this criminal petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, seeking to quash the proceedings in DVC No.11 of 2011 on the file of the I Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Nizamabad, filed for the offences under Sections 498-A of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State. Learned counsel for the petitioners contended that the petitioners are no way concerned with the allegations made by the de facto complainant and only to harass them a false complaint is lodged by the de facto complainant. He further contended that no prima facie case is made out against the petitioners to attract the provisions of the Domestic Violence Act. This Court is of the view that the above contentions are to be decided at the time of trial only and the petitioners are directed to raise all the points before the trial Court. With the above observation, the criminal petition is disposed of. However, as the offence arises out of matrimonial disputes, where the question of identity of the accused does not arise, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for the same and they shall properly be represented through their counsel. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. _______________ RAJA ELANGO,J rkk Dated: 7-9-2011
