THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No.8361 of 2008 DATED: 30-04-2010 ORDER: This petition is filed to relax the conditions imposed in the order, dated 20-11-2008, in Crl.M.P.No.4332 of 2008 in Cr.No.618 of 2008 on the file of the learned XII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, whereby the surety amount was reduced from Rs.5,00,000/- to Rs.50,000/- for interim custody of the passport in favour of the petitioner. When this petition was listed for the first time on 22-12-2008, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor sought an adjournment and accordingly the matter was directed to be listed on 24-12-2008 and on 24-12-2008 the matter was directed to be listed after Sankranti vacation, 2009. Thereafter, 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. 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. Accordingly, criminal petition is dismissed. _____________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 30th April, 2010 Tsy
