THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1189 of 2003 ORDER: 1 A case in Cr.No.43 of 2003 was registered against the respondent for the offence punishable under section 8(b) & 7(A) of the A.P. Prohibition Act. As the vehicle and black jaggery were seized, the respondent approached the court of learned Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Kodad and filed Crl.M.P.No.2234 of 2003 and the learned Magistrate by his order dated 19.05.2003 ordered release of the vehicle and also the black jaggery to the petitioner towards interim custody. The same is questioned in this revision. 2 In my considered view, this revision cannot be maintained at this length of time. It is not known as to what happened to the said crime i.e. whether a charge sheet has been filed or it was referred as false. Further, if a charge sheet is filed what is the present stage of the case is also not known. Another aspect is that the notices on the respondent are not served. Of course, it is the contention of the Additional Public Prosecutor that without ordering notice straight away the vehicle and the black jaggery were ordered release in favour of the respondent. However, the same cannot be taken into consideration at this length of time 3 Accordingly I see no merits in this revision and thus the same is dismissed. -------------- 29.07.2010 Kvsn
