IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD Thursday, July 21, 2011 Present: Hon’ble Sri Justice N. Ravi Shankar Crl.P.No. 2065 of 2010 Between: Lakkireddi Jaya Prabha Rani and another …Petitioners and The State of AP and another …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR Crl.P.No. 2065 of 2010 O r d e r: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the second respondent and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. The petitioners herein are A-3 and A-4 in P.R.C.No. 27 of 2009 on the file of the court of Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kadapa (trial court). They filed this petition for quashing the proceedings against them in the said P.R.C. The offences alleged are those punishable under sections 498-A, 323 and 354 IPC and S. 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners says that the allegations made against the petitioners are false and the case has been foisted in order to coerce them to come to terms with the de facto complainant’s family. Several contentions have been raised to show the innocence of the petitioners and as to how the case can be said to be a false one. However all these contentions fall within the purview of disputed questions of fact and cannot be decided in this petition. Accordingly this petition is dismissed. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners however made a request that the presence of the petitioners before the committal court may be dispensed with. It may be noted that the committal enquiry is still pending and therefore it may not be proper for this court to interfere with the discretion of the committal court with regard to the attendance of the petitioners before it. Hence that relief is also rejected. _____________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J. July 21, 2011. *BVS
