Shivaji v. The State Of Telangana And Another

HONOURABLE JUSTICE G. SRI DEVI CRIMINAL PETITION NO.8285 OF 2019 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking quashing of the proceedings in C.C.No.113 of 2019 on the file of the V Additional Junior Civil Judge-cum-XIII Additional Metropolitan Magistrate at Kukatpally, Cyberabad.

A charge sheet came to be filed against the petitioners/A-1 to A-4 for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A and 323 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961.

Though the present Criminal Petition is filed seeking quashing of entire proceedings, but learned counsel for the petitioners/A-1 to A-4 restricts his prayer seeking dispensation of the presence of the petitioners/A-2 to A-4 before the trial Court on every date of adjournment.

The learned Public Prosecutor submits that since the identity of petitioners/A-2 to A-4 is not in dispute, their presence in the above C.C. may not be necessary on every date of adjournment.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the personal appearance of the petitioners/A-2 to A-4 in C.C.No.113 of 2019 on the file of the V Additional Junior Civil Judge-cum-XIII Additional Metropolitan Magistrate at Kukatpally, Cyberabad, is

hereby dispensed with except on the dates when their presence is specifically required by the Court.

With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is disposed of insofar as the petitioners/A-2 to A-4 are concerned. Insofar as the first petitioner/A-1 is concerned, the Criminal Petition is dismissed.

Miscellaneous applications, if any, pending shall stand closed.
