HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.A.NO.341 OF 2010 Date: 05-05-2010 Between: R. Ravichandran and others ............... Petitioners And The Government of A.P. and others ……… Respondents `ON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.A.NO.341 OF 2010 JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice V. Eswaraiah) This Writ Appeal has been filed seeking to set aside the order, dated 06-04-2010 in W.V.M.P.No.493 of 2010 in W.P.No.754 of 2010 passed by a learned single Judge of this Court. The Appellants are the writ petitioners. They filed the writ petition questioning the FIR in Crime No.4 of 2010, dated 16-01-2010 on the file of the fourth respondent said to have been registered against them, on the report filed by the third respondent for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 468 and 471 of IPC. The learned single Judge, while issuing notice before admission, granted interim stay of investigation in Crime No.4 of 2010 of the Police Station, Satyavedu, Chitoor District, by order, dated 22-01-2010 for a period of four weeks. Subsequently, the said order was extended for a period of three weeks by order, dated 26-02-2010. The three weeks period is expired by 18- 03-2010. The fourth respondent filed W.V.M.P.No.493 of 2010 on 05-02-2010 to vacate the interim order, dated 22-01-2010 and it was disposed of by the impugned order holding that the interim order granted on 22-01-2010 and extended on 26-02-2010 has already expired and therefore, no further orders need be passed on the vacate stay petition. It was further observed that the respondents are entitled to proceed with the investigation. We do not see any legal infirmity or otherwise in the impugned order passed by the learned single Judge. As it is not a case of refusing extension of the interim order, it is always open for the Appellants to seek extension of the interim order. Since no interim order was subsisting by the date of passing the impugned order, the question of vacating any interim order does not arise and therefore, no orders are passed in the W.V.M.P. The Writ Appeal is, accordingly, dismissed with a liberty to the Appellants to approach the learned single Judge seeking extension of the interim order. No order as to costs. _______________ V.
