HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.4405 & 4830 OF 2008 COMMON ORDER: These criminal petitions under section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 are filed by the petitioners-Accused Nos.3 and 2 respectively seeking to quash all further proceedings in C.C.No.142 of 2008 on the file of the Court of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Tuni, East Godavari District. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. This court while ordering notice to the respondents on 22-07-2008 and 06-08-2008 granted stay for a limited period. But as on today there is no interim order subsisting. Apparently, the calendar case is of the year 2008 and there was no stay of the proceedings in C.C No.142 of 2008. In my considered view, the trial in the said case must have been started by this time. Moreover, the allegations against the petitioners are that they harassed the defacto complainant for an additional dowry. 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. However, the presence of the petitioners before the trial court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Trial Judge insists for their appearance at the time of examinations under Section 239 and 313 Cr.P.C. Accordingly these criminal petitions are disposed of. __________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated: 01.07.2010 TSNR
