SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.7926 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioners, accused Nos.1 to 5 respectively, seeking to quash the proceedings against them in S.C. No.182 of 2008 on the file of I Additional Assistant Sessions Judge, Kakinada, East Godavari District arising out of Crime No.26 of 2005 of Pedapudi Police Station, East Godavari District registered for the offence punishable under Section 307 read with Section 34 IPC. 2. By order dated 13-09-2008 in Criminal Petition No.6344 of 2008 filed by the petitioners, this Court dismissing the petition to quash the proceedings, gave a direction to the petitioners to approach the trial Court for discharge. 3. However, petitioners did not approach the trial Court till framing of charges. Consequently, the petition filed for discharge was returned holding that it was not maintainable, which cannot be said to be incorrect as the petitioners delayed in filing the discharge petition for more than a month. 4. Therefore, there are no merits to entertain this petition. 5. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed at the stage of admission itself. ____________________ P.
