HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13638 OF 2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings in M.C.No.2 of 2010 on the file of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate & Revenue Divisional Officer, Nuzvid, Krishna District. Heard. The Sub-Divisional Magistrate and Revenue Divisional Officer, Nuzvid passed an order, under Section 107 Cr.P.C., in M.C.No.2 of 2010 on 17.07.2010 directing the petitioners herein and others to appear before him in person on 26.07.2010 at 11.00 a.m. to show cause as to why they should not be called upon to execute bond to keep peace in the village for a period of six months. Admittedly, the said order becomes infructuous since it was passed on 17.07.2010 directing the petitioners to execute bond to keep peace in the village for a period of six months and the said period has expired on 17.01.2011. Hence, this Court is of the view that continuation of the proceedings against the petitioners in M.C.No.2 of 2010 would amount to abuse of process of law. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings against the petitioners herein in M.C.No.2 of 2010 on the file of the Sub- Divisional Magistrate & Revenue Divisional Officer, Nuzvid, Krishna District, are hereby quashed. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 15th March, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13638 of 2010 (Allowed) 15th March, 2011 CBS
