HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No.311 of 2008 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed by the petitioners seeking to quash the proceedings against them in C.C.No.615 of 2007 on the file of the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. While ordering notice to the 3rd respondent, this Court, by an order dated 24.01.2008, granted permission to the learned counsel for the petitioners to take out notice personally to the 3rd respondent and file proof of service. Subsequently, when the matter was called on 23.12.2009, none appeared for the petitioners, and therefore, the matter was directed to be listed on 29.12.2009 under the caption “for dismissal”. Even on 29.12.2009 when the matter was called, none appeared for the petitioners, and hence, the matter was again directed to be listed after Sankranthi Vacation, 2010. From the above, it is clear that the petitioners are not interested in prosecuting their case. Though the matter underwent four adjournments, this Court did not grant interim stay of all further proceedings in C.C.No.615 of 2007. Further, as there is no stay of further proceedings in C.C.No.615 of 2007, in my considered view, by now the trial in the said C.C. must have been over or it is in progress. 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, the criminal petition is dismissed. _____________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA 22nd April, 2010 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No.311 of 2008 (Dismissed) Date:22-04-2010 CBS
