THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No.2366 of 2008 ORDER: This petition is filed by the petitioners under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.34 of 2008 on the file of the Station House Officer, IV Town police station, Visakhapatnam District. This matter was listed on 24.4.2008 before this Court for the first time and on that day, this Court ordered notice to the 2nd respondent and directed to post the matter after six weeks. Thereafter, this matter did not see the light of the day and the same is listed before me today for the first time. From the above, it is clear that the learned counsel for the petitioners has not evinced any interest in prosecuting the matter. However, as there is no stay of all further proceedings in the crime and the crime was registered on 20.1.2008, in my considered view, the police must have completed the investigation into the crime and submitted a final report either way. In the light of the above, at this length of time, this Court is not inclined to entertain this petition and go into the merits of the case. Accordingly, Criminal Petition is dismissed. _____________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA Date: 26th April, 2010 Pnb
