What the court decided

AI extract

Outcome

Personal appearance of petitioners/Accused Nos.1 to 3 in C.C.No.705 of 2022 dispensed with, subject to their representation through counsel on every hearing date and to appearance when required or specifically directed by the trial Court; pending miscellaneous applications, if any, stand closed; quashal not granted and no opinion expressed on merits.

Issue for consideration

Whether the proceedings in C.C.No.705 of 2022, pending on the file of the Special Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Mobile Court, Mahabubnagar, against the petitioners as Accused Nos.1 to 3, ought to be quashed. +1 more

Court's answer

Although the petition was filed to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.705 of 2022, counsel restricted the prayer to dispensation of personal appearance; the quashal question was therefore not adjudicated and no opinion was expressed on the merits.

Ratio / Principle

In view of the submissions of counsel for the petitioners, which the learned Additional Public Prosecutor did not oppose, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the presence of the petitioners/Accused Nos.1 to 3 before the Special Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Mobile Court, Mahabubnagar, in C.C.No.705 of 2022 is dispensed with.

Key takeaways

The dispensation is conditional: the petitioners/Accused Nos.1 to 3 shall be represented through their counsel on each and every date of hearing; if their presence is required they shall appear before the trial Court; and in case of non-appearance on a date specifically fixed by the trial Court for their appearance, the trial Court is entitled to proceed in accordance with law.ratio¶¶37
