ORDER Petitioner herein who was counter petitioner No.12 in a proceeding initiated by the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Tirur under Section 107 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeks to quash the above proceedings pending against him. 2. The learned Sub Divisional Magistrate had directed the petitioner and 17 others to show cause why they should not be ordered to execute a bond for Rs.10,000/- each with 2 solvent sureties to keep good behaviour for a period of one year. The proceedings were initiated since it was apprehended that they were likely to endanger peace and tranquility of Kakkadampuram of A.R. Nagar in Tirurangadi Taluk. 3. It is brought to my notice that most of the counter petitioners had appeared before the Sub Divisional Magistrate and complied with the direction. The learned Magistrate had by order dated October 22, 2003 dropped the proceedings against counter petitioners 3, 4, and 6 to 10. It was directed that further proceedings as against others shall be considered on receipt of the report of the Sub Inspector. 4. Since more than 4 years have elapsed after initiation of the above proceedings, I do not find any justification to allow the said proceedings to continue. Therefore the above proceedings pending against the petitioner in M.C. 50/2002 on the file of the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Tirur are quashed. Revision Petition is disposed of in the above terms.
