Karangi Vasudeva Rao, v. Karangi Naga Varalakshmi,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Criminal Petition No.4185 of 2016 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash proceedings initiated against the petitioner/A-1 in C.C.No.319 of 2015 on the file of Additional Junior Civil Judge, Chirala, arising out of Crime No.76 of 2015 of Chirala Police Station, registered for the offences punishable under Section 498 A read with Section 34 IPC.

Heard and perused the material on record.

The offences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Sections 498 A I.P.C and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

Admittedly, after duly investigating into the complaint lodged by the de facto complainant, the Police filed charge sheet against the petitioner and other accused. A reading of charge sheet also reveals some allegations against the petitioner and other accused, the truth of which 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 nature of allegations wherein the question of identity of the petitioner/A-1 does not arise, the presence of the petitioner/A-1 before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates of framing of charges, examination under Section 313 Cr.P.C. and also on the date of judgment. However, the petitioner shall be properly represented through his counsel before the trial Court.

With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is disposed

of. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
