Shanthi Swarupa v. V. Raghunath Vamsi Krishna

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.3373 OF 2016 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C.) to quash the proceedings in S.C.No.618 of 2015 on the file of the VIII Additional District and Sessions Judge, Ranga Reddy District, arising out of offences under Section 304(B) IPC.

Heard and perused the material available on record. This Court is of the view that truth or otherwise of the allegations made against the petitioner can be decided only after due trial. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the proceedings against the petitioner.

In any event, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, and also as the question of identity of the petitioner does not arise, the presence of the petitioner before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates when the trial Court insists for her appearance. The petitioner is directed to be represented by the counsel before the Court below on all hearing dates. The petitioner is given liberty to file an application before the Court below seeking discharge.

The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending, shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 15.03.2016 pln
