THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10857 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of Criminal Procedure Code by the Petitioners-A1 to A6 seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.754 of 2011 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Vizianagaram, whereby they are facing charge for the offence punishable under Sections 498(A) read with 34 IPC and 3, 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 2. Heard both sides. 3. The prosecution case is that the marriage of the de facto complainant and the first petitioner herein took place on 08.04.2010 as per Hindu rites and customs and from the date of marriage all the petitioners started harassing the de facto complainant physically and mentally for additional dowry. Hence, the complaint. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegations made against the petitioners are incorrect. He further submits that the complainant herself left the company of the first petitioner. 5. This court is the view that all these are the questions to be decided at the time of trial and this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial at this stage. In any event, considering the fact that the matter arises 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 the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for their appearance and they shall be properly represented through their Counsel. 6. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed along with this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 5th November 2011 Rns
