HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE G. ANUPAMA CHAKRAVARTHY
CRIMINAL PETITION No.10469 OF 2023
ORDER:
This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of Code
of Criminal Procedure (for short 'Cr.P.C.') by the
petitioners/accused to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.1039 of
2022 on the file of the III Additional Junior Civil Judge-cum-III
Additional Metropolitan Magistrate, Ranga Reddy District,
L.B.Nagar, registered for the offences under Sections 498-A, 323
and 506 of the Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') and Sections 3
and 4 of D.P Act.
2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and
Sri S.Ganesh, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor for
respondent No.1 - State. Perused the record.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioners contended that
petitioner No.1 is sister and petitioner No.2 is brother-in-law of
accused No.1 and they are innocent of the offence. Furthermore,
only general allegations are leveled against the
petitioners/accused. Therefore, prayed to quash the
proceedings against them.
4. On the other hand, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor
contended that after due investigation, the police have filed
charge sheet against the petitioners herein. Therefore, it is not
a fit case to quash the proceedings against the petitioners at
this juncture.
5. On a perusal of the charge sheet, this Court is of the view
that the 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, their
appearance/attendance before the III Additional Junior Civil
Judge-cum-III Additional Metropolitan Magistrate, Ranga Reddy
District, L.B.Nagar, in C.C.No.1039 of 2022 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.
