HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No.481 of 2008 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed by the petitioners seeking to quash the proceedings in S.C.No.488 of 2007 on the file of the Assistant Sessions Judge, Bhimavaram, West Godavari District. While ordering notice before admission to the 2nd respondent, this Court, by an order dated 31.01.2008, granted permission to the learned counsel for the petitioners to take out notice personally to the 2nd respondent and directed that the matter be listed after four weeks. Subsequently, when the matter was called on 23.12.2009, none appeared for the petitioners, and therefore, the matter was directed to be listed on 30.12.2009 under the caption “for dismissal”. Even on 30.12.2009 when the matter was called, none appeared for the petitioners and hence the matter was again directed to be listed after Sankranthi vacation, 2010. From the above, it is clear that the petitioners are not interested in prosecuting their case. Further, as there is no stay of all further proceedings in S.C.No.488 of 2007, this Court is of the view that as of now, the trial in the Sessions Case must have been over or it is in progress. In the light of the above, at this length of time, this Court is not inclined to entertain the criminal petition and go into the merits of the case. Accordingly, the criminal petition is dismissed. _____________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA 22nd April, 2010 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No.481 of 2008 (Dismissed) Date:22-04-2010 CBS
