THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION NO.7904 of 2007 ORDER: This petition is filed by the petitioners/Accused under section 482 of Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.462 of 2007 on the file of the Court of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Markapur, Prakasam District. On 31-12.2007 the case was listed for the first time and adjourned to after Pongal vacation,2008. Since then the petitioners have not taken any steps for prosecuting their case. Apparently, the calendar case is of the year 2007 and there was no stay of the proceedings in C.C No.462 of 2007. In my considered view the trial in the said case must have been over or it is in progress. 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 merits in this petition. The criminal petition is accordingly dismissed. -------------- 22.04.2010 tsnr
