THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.11014 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioner – accused seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.70 of 2006 on the file of the II Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Vijayawada, arising out of Crime No.312 of 2004 of L & O Suryaraopet Police Station, Vijayawada City, registered for the offence punishable under Section 420 IPC. 2. Heard. 3. The C.C. is of the year 2006. Hence, there is no justification in granting any interim order at this stage. However, at the same time, the petitioner – accused cannot be harassed by making him to go around the Court for years. Hence, it is directed that the trial Court shall dispose of the C.C.No.70 of 2006 within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, as the witnesses shown are only seven in number. On appropriate petition being filed, the presence of the petitioner shall be dispensed with except at the time of framing of charges, recording of evidence, examination under Section 313 Cr.P.C. and Judgment. Thus he need not appear on the formal dates of posting. 4. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. ___________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J. 31st December 2009 Rns
