                                      ORDER

Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.726/2007 of

Pathanamthitta Police Station for offences punishable under Sections

509 read with 34 IPC, seeks permission to plead for a discharge in

absentia

2. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am

inclined to permit the petitioner to plead for a discharge in absentia.

Accordingly if the petitioner files an application for discharge before the

court below through his counsel, within two weeks, that court shall not

insist on the personal appearance of the petitioner for the disposal of the

discharge petition.

This Crl.M.C is disposed of reserving the above right of the

petitioner.

Dated this the 16th day of August, 2010.

V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE
