D.Praveen Kumar, S/O.Satyanarayana, v. The State Of Telangana,

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.3494 OF 2016 ORDER:

The petitioners-A1 to A4 preferred the present Criminal Petition by invoking the provision under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short 'Cr.P.C.') seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.452 of 2014 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Huzurabad.

Heard and perused the material available on record. The offences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Sections 498-A I.P.C and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Admittedly, after duly investigating into the complaint lodged by the de facto complainant, the Police filed charge sheet against the petitioners and other accused.

A reading of charge sheet also reveals some allegations against the petitioners, truth of which can be decided only after due trial. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the proceedings against the petitioners.

In any event, considering the nature of allegations wherein the question of identity of the petitioners does not arise, presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates of on which the learned trial Judge insists for their appearance. The petitioners shall be properly represented through their counsel before the trial Court.

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Consequently, the Miscellaneous Petitions pending in this petition, if any, shall stand closed.
