CRL.R.P.NO.188 of 1998 DATED THIS THE 1st June 2007 ORDER The revision petitioner is the complainant in C.C.No.152/1997 in the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate- I, Kochi with respect to the offence under Section 420 IPC in which the accused happened to be discharged under Section 249 Cr.P.C. It is stated that the lapse occasioned on account of the fact that the formal Managing Director of the Company resigned and the present petitioner was appointed as Chairman and the Managing Director. 2. The petitioner has sought for setting aside the order of the court below and for getting remitted the matter. I find that the order of the court below is dated 15-12-1997. The revision petition was filed on 27-1-1998. About 10 years have lapsed since the filing of the revision petition. The amount involved according to the petitioner is Rs.23,400/-. Although respondent/accused has been served, there is no representation. I find that the petitioner herein was not at all vigilant in pursuing CRL.R.P.NO. 188/1998 -2- the matter. At this belated stage it will not be proper to remit the matter back to the court below. Hence, the Crl.revision petition is dismissed. Sd/- K.R.UDAYABHANU, JUDGE ks.
