HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA CRL.P.No.941 of 2008 ORDER: Petitioner seeks to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.221 of 2007 on the file of the I Town Police Station, Nalgonda District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 143, 447, 448, 427 read with Section 149 of I.P.C. This Court, on 19.02.2008, while ordering notice to the 2nd respondent, granted interim stay of arrest of the petitioner for a period of four weeks only, but however, allowed the police to proceed with the investigation. Thereafter, the said interim stay of arrest of the petitioner was not extended further. Subsequently, for the first time, this matter is listed before me today. Hence, it is clear that the petitioner has not evinced any interest in the matter. Since the crime was registered as early as in the year 2007 and there was no stay of the proceedings in the crime, in my considered view, the investigation in the said case must have been completed and the police must have filed the final report either way. Hence, I find no merit in this petition. The criminal petition is accordingly dismissed. __________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 22.04.2010 Gsn.
