THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13534 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court by invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings against them in C.C.No.397 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Mahabubabad, whereby they are facing charge for the offence punishable under Section 498(A) of IPC and 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 2. Heard both sides. 3. After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioners-accused by withdrawing the main prayer, prayed the court for dispensation of the presence of the petitioners before the court below. 4. Admittedly, in the charge sheet filed by the respondent- police, there are some prima facie allegations against the petitioners. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings. In any event, considering the nature of offence and the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the presence of the petitioners- accused before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for their appearance and they shall be properly represented through their counsel before the court below. 5. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 23rd December 2011, Rns.
