HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA CRL.P.No.4216 of 2008 ORDER: Petitioners-accused seeks to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.195 of 2008 on the file of the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 406, 506, 120-B of I.P.C. read with section 34 of I.P.C. and also Sections 3 and 4 o Dowry Prohibition Act. While ordering notice to the 2nd respondent, this Court, on 15.07.2008, granted interim stay of all further proceedings in C.C.No.195 of 2008 against petitioners 2 to 9 only for a period of four weeks from that date and thereafter the said interim stay was not extended further. 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 2008 and as there was no stay of the proceedings in C.C.No.195 of 2008, 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.
