THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL APPEAL No.190 of 2003 DATED: 04-03-2010 ORDER: Appellant herein filed a private complaint against the respondents herein alleging an offence punishable under Section 500 IPC. The learned VII Additional Munsif Magistrate, Guntur took cognizance of the said offence and accordingly the 2nd respondent herein was tried in C.C.No.7 of 2002. After trial, the learned Magistrate came to the conclusion that no offence is made out and accordingly dismissed the complaint and acquitted the respondents. As against the said judgment, dated 25-07-2002, the unsuccessful complainant approached this Court and filed the present appeal. 2. This Court ordered notice to the respondents, however as they were returned unserved, the learned counsel for the appellant was directed to furnish the correct addresses. Despite the said office note, neither the appellant nor the counsel appearing on his behalf had taken steps to furnish the correct addresses of the respondents. 3. From the above, it is clear that the appellant is no more interested in getting the matter prosecuted. Further, the alleged offence, even according to the appellant, had taken place in the year 2000. Now, after a lapse of ten years this Court is not inclined to take a lenient view. 4. Accordingly, Criminal Appeal is dismissed for non prosecution. _______________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA,J 04th March, 2010. Tsy
