THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.5403 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioner - accused No.2 seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.35 of 2005 on the file of the XI Metropolitan Magistrate, Ranga Reddy District, arising out of Crime No.507 of 2003 of Uppal Police Station, Cyberabad, registered for the offence punishable under Section 324 read with 34 of IPC. 2. Heard both sides. 3. The C.C. is of the year 2005 and the learned counsel for the petitioner wants the same to be quashed in 2009. As such, without going into the merits of the case, the petition is dismissed, as the petitioner approached the Court belatedly. In case, there were no merits in the prosecution case, he ought to have filed the petition earlier. However, as the learned counsel for the petitioner wants the matter to be referred to Lok Adalath, the trial Court is directed to pursue the matter for settlement through Lok Adalath initially. ___________________ P.
