Govindu Pedda Marilu , Mariayanna v. The State Of A.P

HONOURABLE SRI J USTICE M.S.K . J AISWAL CRIMINAL PETITION No. 13129 of 2016 ORDER:

The criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings in CC No. 108 of 2015 on the file of the learned IV Additional Junior Civil Judge, Guntur, Guntur District, registered for the offences punishable under Section 498A IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners herein/Accused 2 to 4, and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, representing the State.

Having heard the learned Counsel on either side and gone through the material available on record, it is obvious that specific allegations were made in the complaint against the petitioners herein/Accused 2 to 4. The truth or otherwise of the allegations can only be decided during course of trial. This Court is not supposed to make a roving enquiry into the allegations made in the charge sheet. I see no ground to quash the proceedings in the aforesaid Calendar Case.

In the facts and circumstances of the case and as requested by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the Criminal Petition is disposed of, directing the Court below to proceed with the trial, however, without insisting for the presence of the petitioners herein/Accused 2 to 4 for each and every adjournment, unless it feels that their physical presence is necessary for any specific purpose. The Counsel on record shall represent the petitioners

herein/Accused 2 to 4 before the Court below on each and every day of hearing the case.

Miscellaneous petitions pending consideration if any in the Criminal Petition shall stand closed in consequence. No order as to costs.
