No.555 of 2007 on the file of the learned III Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Gajuwaka, Visakhapatnam District. 2. Heard. 3. The C.C. is of 2007. Hence, without going into the merits of the case, I am not inclined to entertain this petition, which is filed now, at this length of time, as in case, there is no prima facie case against the petitioner, he ought to have approached this Court initially itself. However, the trial Court is directed to dispose of the C.C. No.555 of 2007 expeditiously. 4. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed at the stage of admission itself. _____________________ P.
