THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No.8401 of 2008 DATED: 30-04-2010 ORDER: This petition is filed seeking to quash the proceedings in M.C.No.1/08/B on the file of the Tahsildar and Executive Magistrate, Karlapalem mandal, Guntur District. The matter was listed before this Court for the first time on 23- 12-2008 and this Court, while ordering notice to respondents 1 to 3, directed the matter to be posted after six weeks. Subsequently, for the first time, this matter is listed before me today. Hence, it is clear that the petitioners have not evinced any interest in the matter. Since the said case was registered as early as in the year 2008 and as there was no stay of the proceedings in M.C.No.1/08/B, in my considered view, the proceedings in the said case must have been completed by now 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 merit in this petition. Accordingly, Criminal Petition is dismissed. _____________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 30th April, 2010 Tsy
