2. The petitioners are alleged to have committed the offence punishable under Sections 498-A, 406, 324 IPC and Sections 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

3. The learned Counsel for the petitioners after arguing for some time, confined his argument only for early disposal of the case and for dispensing with the presence of the petitioners. He further submitted that the petitioners and the de facto complainant entered into compromise and some amount was also paid to the de facto complainant and thereafter, she expressed her unwillingness to compromise and therefore, the petitioners intended to face the trial.

4. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions made by the learned Counsel for the petitioners, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates, when their presence is insisted by the trial Court. The petitioners are also directed to be represented before the trial Court through their Counsel on all hearing dates. The trial Court is also directed to dispose of the above C.C. as expeditiously as possible, more preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

5. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
