THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 8482 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to set aside the order passed by the learned XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad in M.C. No. 13 of 2010, date 25.5.2011, whereby, the learned Magistrate has set the petitioner ex-parte and posted the matter for evidence on 9.6.2011. Heard. On a perusal of the impugned docket order, this Court is of the view that without filing an application for setting aside the said ex-parte order before the trial Court, the present petition is not maintainable. Hence, the petitioner is advised to file a petition before the trial Court to set aside the ex-parte order dated 25.5.2011 and upon filing of such an application by the petitioner with necessary documents, the trial Court is directed to consider the same. However, if the trial Court passes any order against the petitioner, the petitioner is at liberty to challenge the same before this Court. With the above observations, the criminal petition is dismissed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 19.09.2011 pnb
