Though the present Criminal Petition is filed seeking quashing of entire proceedings against the petitioner, learned counsel for the petitioner restricts his prayer seeking dispensation of the presence of the petitioner before the trial Court on every date of adjournment.

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally is hereby dispensed with while permitting him to mark his appearance through his counsel, except on the dates when his presence is specifically required by the said Court.

With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
