THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No.8493 of 2008 DATED: 30-04-2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner seeking to quash the First Information Report in Cr.No.802 of 2008 of III Town police station on the file of the learned IV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Visakhapatnam. For the first time, the matter was listed on 22-12-2008 and this Court dispensed with the filing of certified copy of the First Information Report. Thereafter, the matter underwent one adjournment, and after a lapse of 1 ½ years it is listed before me today. Hence, it is clear that the petitioner is not interested in prosecuting his case. Further, as there was no stay of further proceedings in Cr.No.802 of 2008, and the crime was registered on 10-12-2008, in my considered view, by now the police must have completed the investigation into the crime and submitted a final report either way. In the light of the above, at this length of time, this Court is not inclined to entertain this petition and go into the merits of the case. Accordingly, Criminal Petition is dismissed. _______________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA,J 30th April, 2010. Tsy
