Smt. Poola Dhanamma, v. The State Of A.P.

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.S.K.JAISWAL CRIMINAL PETITION No.10950 of 2016 ORDER:

This criminal petition is filed by the petitioners/A.2 and A.3 under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.156 of 2014 on the file of the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Piler. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners/A.2 and A.3 and learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State.

It appears from the complaint that the 2nd respondent/de facto complainant made a complaint against the petitioners/A.2 and A.3 and another under Sections 498-A and 323 read with 34 IPC and Section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. It further appears that on the basis of the said complaint, a specific police case was initiated, which culminated into filing of a charge sheet. The truth or otherwise of the allegations can only be decided during the course of trial. This Court is not supposed to make a roving enquiry into the allegations made in the charge sheet. I absolutely see no valid ground to quash the charge sheet.

From a perusal of the record, it cannot be said that there is no material proceed against the petitioners/A.2 and A.3.

In that view of the matter, the criminal petition is disposed of directing the learned Magistrate to proceed with the trial in C.C.No.156 of 2014 and dispose of it, without insisting for the presence of petitioners/A.2 and A.3 on each and every adjournment, unless it feels that their presence is necessary for any specific purpose. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed in consequence.
