THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.11650 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners-Accused approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.175 of 2011 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Anantapur, whereby they are facing charge for the offence punishable under Sections 498-A IPC and 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard. In this matter, the charge sheet filed by the police after completion of investigation reveals prima facie allegations against the petitioners. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial at this stage. In any event, considering the facts and circumstances of the case as the offence arises out of matrimonial disputes, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for the same and they shall properly be represented through their counsel. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions filed along with the Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 21st November 2011, Rns.
