HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA CRL.P.No.4774 of 2007 ORDER: Petitioner-A1 seeks to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.97 of 1997 on the file of the Police Station, C.I.D., Hyderabad, registered for the offence punishable under Section 420 of I.P.C. Though this petition was listed for the first time on 14.08.2007 and underwent three adjournments, this Court was not inclined to grant any interim order in the matter. As the crime was registered as early as in the year 1997 and there was no stay of the proceedings in the crime, in my considered view, the police must have completed entire investigation and decided as to whether the petitioner has committed any offence or not. If the police have decided that the petitioner had not committed any offence, they must have filed a final report stating that no offence as against the present petitioner was made out or they would have filed a charge sheet alleging the offence against the petitioner if it is prima facie established. Either way, this petition, in my considered view, has become infructuous. The criminal petition is accordingly dismissed. _______________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 20.04.2010 Gsn.
