HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10710 of 2009 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.1 to 6, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.335 of 2007 on the file of the XIII Addl. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, taken on file for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A of IPC and 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard both sides and perused the record. On perusal of the record, this Court is of the view that there are no allegations against petitioner Nos.2 and 3, except the allegation that they instigated petitioner No.1, as rightly contended by the learned counsel for the petitioners. Hence, the proceedings initiated against petitioner Nos.2 and 3 herein in C.C.No.335 of 2007 on the file of the XIII Addl. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed and, consequently, they are acquitted of the offences. As far petitioner Nos.1, 4, 5 and 6 are concerned, the Criminal Petition is dismissed, as there are specific allegations against them. But however, considering the nature of allegations wherein the question of their identity before the trial Court does not arise, their appearance before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for their appearance and they are permitted to be represented through their counsel. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 22nd December, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10710 of 2009 (Allowed in part) 22nd December, 2011 cbs
