HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No: 1434 of 2011 Date: 15th February, 2011 Between: Voraganti Rama Rao and another … Petitioners And The State Rep by its P.P, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No: 1434 of 2011 ORDER : This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of Criminal Procedure Code by the Petitioners seeking to quash the proceedings against them in C.C.No.1035 of 2009 on the file of Addl. Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Srikakulam, whereby they are facing charge for the offence punishable under Sections 498-A of IPC and 3,4 and 5 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 2. Heard both sides. 3. On perusal of the record, it is seen that in this matter the police filed charge sheet after due investigation. Charge sheet also prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioners. Since the case is under trial under Section 498-A of Indian Penal Code read with Section 3, 4 and 5 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings at this stage. However, since 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 on the dates on which the learned Magistrate directs their appearance and they shall be properly represented through their Counsel. 4. With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. The Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed along with this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 15th February, 2011 Ksm/Rns
