Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the personal appearance of the petitioners in D.V.C.No.66 of 2019 on the file of the II Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Khammam, is hereby dispensed with except on the dates when their presence is specifically required by the Court. The petitioners shall be represented by their counsel before the Court below.
