IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD Wednesday, November 23, 2011 Present: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR Crl.P.No. 4623 of 2009 Between: A. Bharathi and others ..Petitioners and The State of AP and another. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR Crl.P.No. 4623 of 2009 O r d e r: Sri A. Dattanand representing the petitioner’s counsel has sought for an adjournment today. This is a petition to quash a criminal case – C.C.No. 70 of 2009 on the file of Court of Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Metpalli, Karimnagar District. 2. On 03-07-2009 this court while ordering notice before admission granted interim stay in respect of petitioner Nos. 3 and 4 only till the next date of hearing. Today when the matter is listed, it is seen that the petitioners have not filed any document to show that they have taken out notice to the second respondent i.e., the de facto complainant, though the notice was ordered on 3-7-2009 and as on today more than two years have elapsed. 3. In these circumstances having regard to the fact that there was no interim stay in favour of petitioner Nos. 1 and 2, I am constrained to hold that this is not a fit case for further adjournment in view of the conduct of the petitioners in not paying process for the second respondent. 4. Accordingly this petition is dismissed for the above laches on the part of the petitioner. _____________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J. November 23, 2011. *BVS
