JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ------ Rakesh Kumar,J. No one appears for the petitioners. 2. By order dated 29.7.1999, while issuing notice to opposite party no.2, this court had directed that in the meantime, further proceeding in the court below, so far as petitioners are concerned, shall remain stayed. Subsequently, by order dated 4.12.2000 while admitting the case for hearing, this court directed that during the pendency of this application, interim order dated 29.7.1999 shall continue and order of stay is still continuing. 3. It appears that after obtaining the order of stay the petitioners have lost their interest in the present case and, as such, none has appeared either to press this petition or even to make a 2 prayer for adjournment. 4. The petitioners, while invoking inherent jurisdiction of this court under section 482 of the Code of Criminal, have prayed for quashing of the order dated 15.9.1998 passed in Sessions Trial No.455 of 1996 by learned Additional Sessions Judge-IInd, Patna. By the said order the learned Additional Sessions Judge has rejected the petition dated 15.12.1997 filed on behalf of the petitioners for their discharge in a case for the offence committed under section 395 of the Indian Penal Code. 5. I have perused the impugned order whereby discharge petition was rejected and I have also examined the materials on record. The learned Additional Sessions Judge while rejecting the discharge petition has given a detail reason for its rejection. 6. I do not find any error in the said order. Accordingly, this petition has got no merit and the same is rejected. 7. In view of rejection of this petition, the interim order of stay stands automatically vacated. 8. Let a copy of this order be communicated to the court below forthwith. Patna High court The 5th April, 2010 NAFR/Md.S. ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
