HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA CRL.P.No.4448 of 2008 ORDER: Petitioners-accused seek to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.88 of 2007 on the file of the I Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Khammam, for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 294 (b), 323, 506 read with Section 34 of I.P.C. and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. While ordering notice to the 2nd respondent, this Court, on 23.07.2008, granted interim stay of all further proceedings in C.C.No.88 of 2007 for a period of two weeks and thereafter, on 06.11.2008, the said interim stay was extended for a period of two weeks from that date. Subsequently, for the first time, this matter is listed before me today. Hence, it is clear that the petitioners have not evinced any interest in the matter. Since the calendar case is of the year 2007 and as there was no stay of the proceedings in C.C.No.88 of 2007, in my considered view, the trial in the said case must have been over or it is in progress. In the light of the same, this Court is of the view that this petition cannot be entertained at this length of time. I find no merit in this petition. The Criminal Petition is accordingly dismissed. ________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 27.04.2010 Gsn.
