THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE K.SURENDER
CRIMINAL PETITION No.256 OF 2023
O R D E R:
This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of the
Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short 'Cr.P.C.') by the
petitioners-respondents Nos.1 to 9 to quash the proceedings
against them in DVC No.296 of 2022 pending on the file of
III Metropolitan Magistrate Court at Hyderabad.
2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned
Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent - State.
Perused the record.
3. A perusal of record would reveal that the marriage of
2nd respondent with the respondent No.1 in the aforesaid
DVC was performed on 30.04.2017 and thereafter
matrimonial disputes arose between them.
4. The allegations leveled against petitioners herein are
general in nature and they are triable issues. The petitioners
herein have to face trial and prove their innocence. In view
of the same, this Court is not inclined to quash the
proceedings in the aforesaid D.V.C. against the petitioners
herein. However, in matrimonial disputes the identification
of parties is not in dispute.
5. In view of the aforesaid reasons, the attendance of the
petitioners herein - Respondents 1 to 9 is dispensed with in
DVC No.296 of 2022 pending on the file of III Metropolitan
Magistrate Court at Hyderabad, when represented by their
counsel on record. The attendance of the petitioners is
dispensed subject to filing an affidavit by the petitioners
stating that in their absence the proceedings conducted by
their counsel will not be disputed by them in any manner
and shall not dispute their identity also. However, the
petitioners shall appear before the learned Magistrate as and
when their presence is required. In the event of the
petitioners failure to appear when the Court directs, this
order dispensing their attendance shall stand cancelled.
7. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed off.
Needless to say, in the event of the petitioners filing an
application under Section 239 of Cr.P.C. seeking discharge,
the concerned Court shall dispose it off on merits in view of
the judgment rendered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in
case of Bhushan Kumar and another vs. State (NCT of
Delhi) and another1.
Miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand
closed.
