Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. Sri Rudresh Deshpande, learned counsel, representing the learned Public Prosecutor, reports that he has no instructions in the matter. 3. The allegations against the petitioner are that he purchased two she buffalos from the de facto complainant for Rs.50,000/- and paid Rs.35,000/- and by promising to give the balance amount took away the buffalos.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner is falsely implicated in this case by the de facto complainant to harass him and the police have not yet completed the investigation in the crime. 5. A perusal of the record shows that this petition was filed on 19-08-2010 and when the petition came up for hearing for the first time on 06-09-2010, this Court ordered notice to the de facto complainant and also permitted the learned counsel for the petitioner to serve personal notice on the de facto complainant under registered post with acknowledgement due and file proof of service. However, from then notice was not yet served on the de facto complainant though the matter came up for hearing today only. The record further shows that the petitioner was arrested and released on bail. 6. In the circumstances, this Court is of the view that it is not a fit case for keeping the matter pending further. 7. Therefore, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. __________________ B.N. RAO NALLA, J October 20, 2011. PV
