HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA CRL.P.No.4807 of 2007 ORDER: Petitioners-A2 to A5 seek to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.174 of 2006 on the file of IV Town Police Station, Kurnool, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A of I.P.C. and Sections 3 & 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. This petition was listed for the first time on 23.08.2007 and on that day this Court, while ordering notice before admission, granted interim stay of all further proceedings in the crime for a period of six weeks and thereafter the matter under went several adjournments and the said interim order was extended till 16.11.2007. Subsequently, for the first time, this matter is listed before me today. Hence, it is clear that the petitioners have not evinced any interest in the matter. As the crime was registered as early as in the year 2006 and there was no stay of the proceedings in the crime, in my considered view, the police must have completed the entire investigation and submitted a final report. 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. The criminal petition is accordingly dismissed. __________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 20.04.2010 Gsn.
