Khurshid Begum v. The State Of Telanga

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6682 OF 2015 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed by the accused Nos.2,3 and 4 under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.118 of 2015 pending on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Adilabad District for the offence under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 4 & 6 of Dowry Prohibition Act. After arguing for some time, since this Court is not inclined to quash the impugned proceedings at this stage, the learned counsel for the petitioners confined his argument to the extent of dispensing with the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court. Being the offence alleged against the petitioners under Section 498-A IPC, the question of their identity before the trial Court does not arise.

In the circumstances, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates so specifically the trial Court insists for their appearance. The petitioners are directed to be represented by a counsel on all hearing dates.

The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending, shall stand closed.
