Sk. Salma v. State Of Andhra Pradesh

THE HONOURABLE Dr.JUSTICE B.SIVA SANKARA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No.3333 of 2017 ORDER:

Heard.

Indisputably, from the deposition of P.W.1 not only in chief examination but also cross-examination done by the other accused, it is clear that the petitioners/ A.2 to A.6 participated in the offence and the same is in compliance with the requirement of Section 319 Cr.P.C. Thereby, there is nothing to find fault with the impugned order passed by the learned trial Judge/ Magistrate adding the petitioners as accused Nos.2 to 6 in C.C.No.459 of 2014 on the file of VI Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Guntur.

However, without prejudice to the defences available to the petitioners/ A.2 to A.6 including seeking discharge, if at all any charges are framed against them, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Needless to state that if at all any application under Rule 37 of the Criminal Rules of Practice is filed by the petitioners/ A.2 to A.6 to consider after hearing for one to represent others, the learned trial Judge/ Magistrate shall consider the same and accord such permission unless their presence is required personally so to direct. Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ Dr. B.SIVA SANKARA RAO J Date: 05.09.2017 va
