HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA CRL.P.No.3101 of 2008 ORDER: Petitioners seek quashing of the order passed in Crl.R.P.No.44 of 2008, dated 08.04.2008, on the file of the Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Hyderabad, confirming the order passed in Crl.M.P.No.687 of 2008 in C.C.No.208 of 2004 on the file of the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. Initially, the Police filed a case in Crime No.115 of 2003 against the petitioners-accused 1 to 4 before the learned XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad for the offences under Section 498-A I.P.C. and Sections 4 and 5 of the Dowry Prohibition Act and the same was registered as C.C.No.208 of 2004. During the course of trial, P.W.1 was partly examined-in-chief. In view of the fact that prior to filing of charge sheet in the said crime, the victim died, the Assistant Public Prosecutor filed Crl.M.P.No.687 of 2008 seeking committal of the case to the Court of Session as the case attracts the ingredients of Section 304-B I.P.C. The learned XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad allowed the said Crl.M.P., directing the accused to be present before the Court of committal. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioners-accused 1 to 4 filed Crl.R.P.No.44 of 2008, which was dismissed by the Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Hyderabad, by the impugned order. Hence, this Criminal Petition. When the matter was listed on 11.06.2008, this Court while issuing notice before admission, stayed the appearance of the petitioners before the Court below, for a period of six weeks and permitted the learned counsel for the petitioners to take out personal notice to respondent No.2. Subsequently, the matter underwent two adjournments and thereafter, it did not see the light of the day and for the first time, it is listed before this Court today. This shows that the petitioners have not evinced any interest in the matter. In the circumstances, this Court is left with no option except to confirm the impugned order. The Criminal Petition is accordingly dismissed. ______________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 27.04.2010 kdl
