between them.
4. The allegations leveled against petitioners herein are
triable issues. The petitioners herein have to face trial and
prove their innocence. In view of the same, this Court is not

petitioner stating that in his absence the proceedings
conducted by his counsel will not be disputed by him in any
manner and also he shall not dispute his identity. However,
the petitioner shall appear before the learned Magistrate as
and when his presence is required. In the event of the
petitioner's failure to appear when the Court directs, this order
dispensing his attendance would stand cancelled.
6. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed off.
Needless to say, in the event of the petitioner filing an
application under Section 239 of Cr.P.C. seeking discharge,
the concerned Court shall dispose it off on merits in view of
