 HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE G. ANUPAMA CHAKRAVARTHY

           CRIMINAL PETITION No.9612 OF 2023

ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of the Code

of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short 'Cr.P.C.') by the

petitioners/accused Nos.2 and 3 in C.C.No.541 of 2023 pending

on the file of the learned Principal Judicial First Class Magistrate,

Mancherial, registered for the offences punishable under Section

498-A of Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry

Prohibition Act, 1961.

2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri S.Ganesh,

learned Assistant Public Prosecutor for respondent No.1 - State.

Perused the record.

3. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioners

that the petitioners are innocent and a false complaint has been

foisted against them by respondent No.2/de-facto complainant.

Therefore, he prayed to quash the proceedings against them.

4. On the other hand, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor

contended that it is not a fit case to quash the proceedings

against the petitioners at this juncture and the matter has to be

decided after conducting trial by the Court below.

5. 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 conducting trial. Hence, this

Court is not inclined to interfere with the proceedings against the

petitioners.

6. Taking into consideration the fact that only general

allegations are leveled against the petitioners/accused Nos.2 and

3, their appearance/attendance before the learned Principal

Judicial First Class Magistrate, Mancherial, in C.C.No.541 of 2023

is dispensed with, unless their presence is required by the trial

Court for a specific purpose or at the time of recording their

examination under Section 313 Cr.P.C. and on the date of

pronouncement of judgment. Further, the petitioners are at liberty

to file an application seeking discharge and on such application

being filed, the trial Court shall dispose of the same on merits

within a period of three (03) weeks, without being influenced by

any of the observations made by this Court in the present order.

7. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of.

Miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand

closed.
