Dr.M.Aravind, v. The State of Andhra Pradesh
Case brief
What is this about?
In this criminal petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C., the single judge declined to quash pending trial proceedings due to an unexplained 14-year delay between the charge sheet and the filing of the petition. The court, however, dispensed with the petitioner's personal appearance, allowing counsel representation.
What did the court decide?
Petition dismissed; personal appearance dispensed with except when specifically required by the trial court.
