HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA CRL.P.No.867 of 2008 ORDER: This petition is filed seeking interim custody of licensed rifle 315 (8 mm) bearing No.AB-4-9922 with Telescope and Magazine of 8 round bullets and also the license bearing No. ST 6845/2003 dated 20.12.2003 so as to enable the petitioner to renew the license as the same has been lapsed on 30.12.2006. When the matter was listed for the first time before this Court on 15.02.2008, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor sought an adjournment and accordingly the matter was directed to be listed on 22.02.2008.Thereafter, when the matter was called for hearing on 30.12.2009, none appeared for the petitioner as well as the respondent and hence the matter was directed to be listed after Sankranthi Vacation, 2010. Subsequently, for the first time, this matter is listed before me today. Hence, it is clear that the petitioner has not evinced any interest in the matter. The learned Special Sessions Judge, Mahabubnagar has given sufficient and cogent reasons in dismissing the revision petition. In the light of the same, this Court is of the view that this petition cannot be entertained at this length of time. I find no merit in this petition. The Criminal Petition is accordingly dismissed. ___________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 22.04.2010 Gsn.
