THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No.2404 of 2008 ORDER: This petition is filed by the petitioner under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against him in Crime No.55 of 2008 on the file of the Station House Officer, Chatrinaka police station, Hyderabad. On 25.4.2008, this Court while ordering notice to the 2nd respondent, granted interim stay of arrest of the petitioners alone, but however, directed that the investigation can go on. Thereafter on 23.6.2008, this matter was listed again and on that day, this Court while ordering fresh notice to the 2nd respondent, extended the interim stay granted on 25.4.2008 until further orders. Subsequently, the matter was listed on 22.7.2008 and on that day, the matter was adjourned to ten days. Thereafter, this matter did not see the light of the day and the same is listed before me today for the first time. From the above, it is clear that the learned counsel for the petitioner has not evinced any interest in prosecuting the matter. However, as there is no stay of all further proceedings in the crime and the crime was registered on 18.2.2008, in my considered view, the police must have completed the investigation into the crime and submitted a final report either way. 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, Criminal Petition is dismissed. _____________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA Date: 26th April, 2010 Pnb
