OPPOSITE PARTIES. ---- For the Petitioners : None For O.P. Nos.2 to 14 : Mr. Hamendra Prasad Singh,Adv. For the State : Mr. A.M.P. Mehta, A.P.P. ---- P R E S E N T THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ---- Rakesh Kumar,J. Despite repeated calls, no one appeared on behalf of the petitioner either to press this petition or to make a prayer for adjournment. However, Shri Hamendra Prasad Singh appears on behalf - 2 - of opposite party nos.1 to 14. 2. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of opposite party nos.2 to 14 submits that it appears that after obtaining the order of stay, the petitioner has lost his interest in the present case and due to that reason, no one has come forward to press this petition. He further submits that, in any event, after expiry of such a long time i.e. the impugned order was passed on 13.2.1999, it would not be appropriate to further issue any direction in the present case. 3. In view of the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to exercise inherent jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in the present case. Accordingly, petition stands rejected. 4. In view of rejection of the present petition, order of stay earlier granted stands automatically vacated. 5. Let a copy of this order be sent to the court below forthwith. ( Rakesh Kumar,J.) PATNA HIGH COURT Dated 23.4.2010 N.A.F.R./N.H. - 3 -
