HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No:6579 OF 2007 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., to quash the proceedings in Crime No.376 of 2007 on the file of IV Town Law & Order Police Station, Visakhapatnam. The matter was listed before this Court for the first time on 07.11.2007. On that day as the copy of the charge sheet was not filed, the same was dispensed with in Crl.M.P.No.4894 of 2007. Subsequently, while ordering notice before admission, this Court granted interim stay of arrest of the petitioners alone for a limited period, but allowed the investigation to go on. On 12.12.2007, the order of interim stay was extended only for a limited period. Thereafter, the said order of interim stay was not extended. As there was no order of extension of stay and no order of stay of investigation, the police must have completed the investigation and filed the charge sheet. 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. ______________________________ Justice Gopala Krishna Tamada Dated: 21.4.2010 Nn HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No:6579 OF 2007 21.4.2010
