Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. None appears for the respondents. Perused the records. It is stated that three cases in C.C.Nos.759, 758 and 757 of 2009 on the file of VI Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad were initiated on private complaints filed by the 1st respondent against the petitioner for the offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. It is further stated that all these private complaints are one and the same and the offence alleged is also one and the same and these cases were instituted basing on three cheques which were issued on the same day. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that an application was filed before the trial Court under Section 219 (1) & (2) Cr.P.C in Criminal M.P.S.R.No.5432 of 2010 seeking a direction to club all the three cases in C.C.Nos.759, 758 and 757 of 2009 and proceed as one trial and the said application is remaining indisposed. Inasmuch as the application is already filed before the trial court for the same relief and the same is pending, it is considered that a direction can be issued to the trial court to dispose of the said application at an early date instead of considering these matters on merits, at this stage by this Court. In such circumstances, all the three Criminal Petitions are disposed of with a direction to the learned VI Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad to dispose of the application filed by the petitioner under Section 219 (1) & (2) Cr.P.C in Criminal M.P.S.R.No.5432 of 2010 at an early date, on merits. With the above direction, all the three Criminal Petitions are disposed of. ___________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY October, 28, 2010 GK. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.
