THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2136 of 2010 ORDER: Petitioner – Accused No.2 approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings against them in C.C.No.840 of 2007 on the file of the VI Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, Medchal, R.R.District, whereby they are facing charge for the offence punishable under Sections 430, 447 and 427 IPC and 3 of the Prevention of damage to Public Property Act, 1984. 2. Heard. 3. The main contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is not owner of any property. Hence the question of damaging field channel does not arise. 4. This Court is of the view that it is a matter to be decided at the time of trial and hence it is not a case to quash the proceedings at this stage and the petition is liable to be dismissed. 5. In any event, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and the facts and circumstances of the case, the presence of the petitioner-accused No.2 before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for his appearance and he shall be properly represented through his counsel. 6. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. _________________ RAJA ELANGO, J. 9th March 2011, Rns.
