THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2043 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.1074 of 2007 on the file of the X Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Malkajgiri, wherein they are facing trial for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A of IPC and Sections 3 and 5 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. A perusal of the entire material on record prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioners; therefore, this Court is of the view that the proceedings against the petitioners in the said C.C.No.1074 of 2007 cannot be quashed at this stage. This criminal petition is accordingly dismissed. However, considering the nature of the allegations wherein the question of identity of the accused does not arise in this matter, 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 filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 08.03.2011 v v
