Act. Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, there is no representation either on behalf of the petitioners or their counsel. A perusal of the complaint also reveals specific allegations against the petitioners. In this case, after completion of due investigation, Police filed charge sheet against the petitioners. Prima facie material is available against the petitioners to proceed further against them. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioners at this stage. In any event, in view of the nature of allegations, wherein the question of identity of the accused does not arise, the appearance of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates the trial Judge insists for the same. The petitioners shall be properly represented by their counsel during the trial. With above observation, Criminal Petition is disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 26.08.2010 sur
