THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8458 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings against them in C.C.No.273 of 2008 on the file of the II Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Machilipatnam, Krishna District, whereby they are facing charge for the offence punishable under Section 498(A) of IPC. 2. Heard both sides. 3. After arguing for some time, when this Court is not inclined to grant the relief sought by the petitioners, learned counsel for the petitioners-accused seeks permission of this court for withdrawing the criminal petition and further prayed the court to dispense with the presence of the petitioners before the court below. 4. Admittedly, in the charge sheet filed by the respondent- police, there are some prima facie allegations against the petitioners. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings. In any event, considering the nature of offence and the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, this Court is inclined to dispense with the presence of the petitioners before the trial court. 5. In view of the submission made by the petitioners counsel, permission is accorded and the criminal petition is dismissed as withdrawn. However, the presence of the petitioners-accused before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for their appearance and they shall be properly represented through their counsel. 6. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 19th September 2011, Rns.
