THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.3644 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners, who are 16 in number, filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Cr.P.C) for quashing the proceedings against them in C.C.No.565 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Narsampet, Warangal District. The de facto complainant is the wife of the first petitioner, petitioners 2 and 3 are parents of the first petitioner and the remaining petitioners are the relatives of the first petitioner. The offences alleged against them are punishable under Ss.498-A, 323, 342 and 506 IPC and Ss.3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. 2. I have gone through the allegations in the charge sheet. It is seen that according to a compromise reached earlier petitioners have to pay some amounts to the de facto complainant and her parents and that instead of paying the said amounts the petitioners went to the house of the de facto complainant and her parents and committed the said offences. Sri Prabhakara Rao, learned counsel for the petitioners, says that this is a foisted case. The question whether the case is foisted one or a genuine one has to be decided on evidence and therefore this Court cannot go into that question in these proceedings. Hence there are no grounds to admit this petition and accordingly it is dismissed. 3. Sri Prabhakara Rao however pointed out that out of 16 petitioners 8 are ladies and the second petitioner is an aged person and therefore their presence for every date of hearing before the trial Court may be dispensed with. In the circumstances having regard to the fact that 8 of the petitioners are ladies and the second petitioner is an aged person and having regard to their difficulties expressed by Sri Prabhakara Rao, their presence alone before the trial Court for every date of hearing is dispensed with. It shall however be open for the said Court to order their presence on any date it considers their presence is necessary. ______________________ N.RAVI SHANKAR, J 8th June 2011 CVRK
