Sri Vala Bellary Channa Basaveswar Cotton Company v. The State Of Ap

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.14162 of 2014 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.1 to 3, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings against them in CC No.527 of 2012 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Adoni.

Heard and perused the material available on record. The petitioners are alleged to have committed the offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. After duly enquiring into the complaint filed by the de facto complainant, the police filed charge sheet. A reading of the charge sheet also reveals some allegations against the petitioners, truth of which can be decided after due trial. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the proceedings against the petitioners.

At this stage, the learned Counsel for the petitioners prayed for dispensing with the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court. In view of the above submission, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with, except on the dates of framing of charges, if any, examination under Section 313 Cr.P.C., and also on the date of pronouncement of judgment. The petitioners are directed to be represented through a Counsel before the trial Court on all hearing dates.

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. _______________ RAJA ELANGO, J March 28, 2016.
