IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD WEDNESDAY THE EIGHTEENTH DAY OF FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND AND NINE :PRESENT: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRL.R.C. No. 257 of 2009 Between: Gattu Vaman Rao, S/o. Kistaiah Petitioner/Accused AND The State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad. Respondent Criminal Revision Case under Section 397 & 401 of Cr.P.C, to revise the order of the Court of the III Additional Sessions Judge, Karimnagar, made in Crl.A.No.96 of 2007, dated 12-12-2008, preferred against the order of the Court of the Judicial Magistrate of Fist Class, Manthani, made in C.C.No.323 of 2004. The appeal coming on for hearing, upon perusing the memo of grounds filed herein, and upon hearing the arguments of Sri O. Kailashnath Reddy, Advocate for the petitioner and of the Public Prosecutor for the Respondent, the Court made the following ORDER: “The petitioner herein, who was convicted by the trial Court filed two criminal appeals i.e, Criminal Appeal Nos.75 and 96 of 2007. During the pendency of the said appeals, the petitioner approached this Court and filed Transfer Criminal Petition Nos.142 and 143 of 2008. This Court, by its order, dated 29th October, 2008 allowed the said petitions and accordingly, withdrew the said appeals from the file of III Additional Sessions Judge, Karimngar and transferred the same to the file of Principal Sessions Judge, Mahaboobnagar, for disposal in accordance with law. However, learned III Additional Sessions Judge, Karimnagar, by his order dated 12th December, 2008 dismissed the said appeals. As against the said orders, the petitioner approached this Court and filed these revisions. It is really surprising to note that the learned Judge, contrary to the orders passed by this Court i.e., transferring the said appeals, heard the appeals and dismissed the same and it is not known as to how and why the learned Sessions Judge has passed the orders. Registrar (Judl) is hereby directed to call for a report from the concerned District Judge. Post these revisions after two weeks ’for orders’. The judgment dated 12-12-2008 passed in Crl.A.No.96 of 2007 is hereby suspended.” ASSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // for ASSISTANT REGISTRAR 2 To 1.
