THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.3257 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is implicated as A.7 in C.C.No.197 of 2007 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Bodhan for the offences punishable under Sections 406 and 420 of I.P.C. The grievance of the petitioner is that the trial of the case is not in progress, on account of the non-availability of other accused. It is also stated initially her name was not included in the F.I.R. and only at the stage of investigation, her name came into picture and was included in the charge sheet. She states that on account of the prolonged pendency of the case, she is subjected to mental agony and harassment. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home. The truth or otherwise of the allegation made against the petitioner needs to be determined during the trial of the case. The mere fact that the name of the petitioner did not find place in the F.I.R. is not at all a ground to terminate the proceedings against her, particularly at this length of time. However, if the trial Court finds that the case cannot be proceeded, on account of non-availability of the some of the accused, it can consider the feasibility of splitting the case vis-à-vis the petitioner and proceed further. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the Court of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Bodhan shall consider the feasibility of splitting the case vis-à-vis the petitioner and other available accused in C.C.No.197 of 2007 and dispose of the same as early as possible. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 16.02.2010 JSU THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.3257 of 2010 Date: 16.02.2010 JSU
