THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8705 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., to quash the proceedings in P.C.No.9 of 2011 pending on the file of Judicial Magistrate of the First Class to try the offences under ESI Act and Chairman, Industrial Tribunal-I, Hyderabad, initiated for the offences punishable under Sections 39 and 40 of the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948. Heard. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners could not appear before the trial court when the matter was posted for their appearance or file any application under Section 317 Cr.P.C to condone their absence and that the trial court issued N.B.W to the petitioners herein as they were not present. Considering the fact that the petitioners are ready to face the trial before the trial court and more over the offence punishable under Sections 39 and 40 of the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948 is not grave in nature, the trial court is directed to recall the warrant issued against the petitioners herein. However, in the facts and circumstances of the case, the appearance of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the trial court insists for their presence. With the above observations, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous Petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. _________________ RAJA ELANGO,J Date:21.09.2011. Gk.
