THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6827 of 2011 ORDER: This criminal petition, under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, is filed by the petitioner/Accused seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against him in C.C.No.201 of 2009 on the file of the X Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate at Secunderabad. Offence alleged against the petitioner is punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Since the material on record prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial, at this stage. In any event, considering the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the nature of allegations wherein the question of identity of the accused does not arise in this matter, the presence of the petitioner/accused before the trial Court is dispensed with, except on the dates the learned Magistrate insists for his presence, and the petitioner shall be properly represented by his counsel. Accordingly, the criminal petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 09.08.2011 v v
