HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4952 of 2011 Dated 23.6.2011 Between: Md.Ismail and others. …Petitioners. And: The State of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and another. …Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4952 of 2011 ORDER: Heard Sri Sricharan Telaprolu learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor. Petitioners are A.2, A.3 and A.4 in C.C.No.390 of 2009 on the file of the Court of the X Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Malkajgiri. Petitioners are seeking quashing of the proceedings in the said Criminal Case against them. Offence alleged is the one punishable under Section 498 A I.P.C. I have gone through the allegations in the F.I.R. and they pertain to cruelty. So far as the mother-in-law is concerned, i.e., A.3 allegations of cruelty are made against her and it is also alleged that the brother-in-law never behaved with her properly. Similar allegations are made against the 1st petitioner also who is A.2. Learned Counsel for the petitioners relied upon the copies of various Bank statements and other documents to show that the defacto complainant stayed with her husband for some years in U.S.A. and came over to India and also had quite good amount of money brought from her husband. It is pertinent to note that the allegations go to show that the allegations are not for money alone. Learned counsel for the petitioners strained himself very much to point out from the documents filed by him that all the allegations made against these petitioners are false. The question as to whether the allegations made against the petitioners are true or not, is to be decided before the trial Court. In these circumstances, I regret that I am unable to agree with the petitioners’ counsel. Accordingly, I find no reason to admit this Criminal Petition and it is accordingly dismissed. Learned counsel for the petitioners then urged that the 1st petitioner and 2nd petitioners are aged persons and the 3rd petitioner is in private service and they have their own problems in attending the Court regularly for every date of hearing and sought for dispensing with their attendance. In the circumstances, the presence of these petitioners for every date of hearing before trial Court is dispensed with and they can be represented by their counsel. The trial Court can however summon them as and when it considers their presence necessary. Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is disposed of. It is made clear that the trial Court shall proceed to deal with the case without being influenced in any manner by this order. ____________________________ Justice N.RAVI SHANKAR Dated 23.6.2011.
