THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13605 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners/Accused approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.465 of 2011 on the file of the V Additional Munsif Magistrate, Guntur, wherein they are facing trial for the offence punishable under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act. Heard. Learned counsel for the petitioners, while not pressing for the main prayer, confined his arguments only to the extent of dispensing with the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court. In any event, considering the nature of the offences, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned Judge insists for the same and the petitioners shall be properly represented by their counsel. With the above observation, this Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 23.12.2011 v v
