Smt. Vasireddy Rajeshwari v. The State Of A.P.,Rep,.Pp

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.905 OF 2016 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed by petitioners 2 to 4 under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings in DVC No.12 of 2014 pending on the file of II Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kovvur.

After arguing for some time, since this Court is not inclined to quash the impugned proceedings at the threshold, the learned counsel for the petitioners confined his argument to the extent of dispensing with the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court. Since the proceedings initiated are under the provisions of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, the question of identity of the petitioners 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.
