THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1436 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings against him in C.C.No.11 of 2011 on the file of the V Additional Junior Civil Judge, Guntur, whereby she is facing charge for the offence punishable under Sections 498(A) of IPC and 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard both sides. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is falsely implicated in this case and she is innocent of the offence with which she has been charged. On perusal of the record, the complainant has specifically stated in the complaint that the petitioner and other accused harassed her demanding additional dowry. Police also filed charge sheet after completing due investigation and charge sheet also reveals allegations against the petitioner. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings at this stage. In any event, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, that too, she being lady, this Court is inclined to dispense with her presence before the trial Court. Hence, the presence of petitioner before the trial court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for the same and she shall be properly represented by her counsel. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. ________________ RAJA ELANGO, J. 15th February 2011, Rns.
