Mohd Nadeem v. The State Of Telengana

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.S.K.JAISWAL CRL.P.No.5668 of 2015 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed by the Petitioners-A2 & A3 to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.906 of 2014 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Nalgonda, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A and 506 I.P.C.

On a complaint given by the 2nd respondent herein, a case in Crime No.176 of 2014 was registered against the petitioners and others by the Sub Inspector of Police, Nalgonda II Town Police Station.

Eventually, after completion of investigation, a charge sheet was laid under the aforesaid offences against the petitioners and another in the Court of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Nalgonda. Heard the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor, representing the State.

The allegations in the charge sheet clearly reveal a prima facie case against the petitioners for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A and 506 I.P.C. The truth or otherwise of the allegations cannot be gone into in this petition and it can only be decided during the course of trial. Therefore, I see no reason to interfere with the matter at this stage by quashing the proceedings against the petitioners. Instead it is better to allow the trial in the case to be

expedited.

Having heard the learned Counsel for the petitioners and having gone through the contents of the petition, the Criminal Petition is disposed of with a direction to the trial Court to proceed with the trial of the case expeditiously. However, the trial Court shall not insist the presence of the petitioners-A2 and A3 for every date of hearing unless it feels that their presence is necessary for any specific purpose. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed.
