Polu Mattaiah, v. State Of Andhra Pradesh

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE M.S.K.JAISWAL Criminal Petition No.7149 of 2016 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C) by the petitioners/accused seeking to quash the C.C.No.496 of 2015 on the file of the Additional Junior Civil Judge at Chilakaluripet, for the offences under Section 498-A I.P.C. and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners/accused and the learned Public Prosecutor and perused the material available on record.

On a perusal of the charge sheet, this Court is of the view that truth or otherwise of the allegations made against the petitioners can be decided only after due trial. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the proceedings against the petitioners.

In any event, considering the nature of allegations wherein the question of identity of the accused does not arise, presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates of framing of charges, examination under Section 313 Cr.P.C. and pronouncement of the judgment.

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Consequently, the miscellaneous petitions pending in this petition, if any, shall stand closed.
