ORDER
The petitioners are facing trial in C.C.No.280 of 2016 on the file of the
learned Judicial Magistrate, Additional Mahila Court, Madurai for the
offences under Section 498A, 494 of IPC and Section 4 of Dowry Prohibition
Act.
2.The learned counsel for the petitioners reiterated the contentions
set out in the memorandum of grounds.
3.Though, the said submissions are quite persuasive, I am of the view
that they will have to be necessarily established before the Court below, in
view of their factual nature. Therefore, leaving open the petitioners’
contentions and defences, this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed.
4.Considering the over all facts and circumstances of this case, the
personal appearance of the petitioner before the Court below is also
dispensed with. The Trial Judge shall not insist on the personal appearance
of the petitioners unless it is absolutely necessary or imperative. The
petitioners of course be present to answer the charges and at the time of
examination under Section 313 of Cr.PC and at the time of pronouncing

judgment. Except these three occasions, on other hearing dates the
petitioner can be represented through counsel.
5.The learned counsel for the petitioners states that the entire
allegations are directed only against the first accused who is the husband of
the defacto complainant. In fact, he is not even taking care of the aged
parents. It is only the petitioner herein who is taking care of them.
6.Therefore, taking note of the difficulties said to be faced by the
petitioners herein, the learned Judicial Magistrate, Additional Mahila Court,
Madurai, is requested to dispose of the main case in accordance with law
within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
