THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION No. 2427 of 2008 ORDER: This petition is filed by the petitioners under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C. No.560 of 2007on the file of the VIII Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. On 25.4.2008, while ordering notice to the 2nd respondent, this Court granted interim stay of all further proceedings in so far as petitioners 4 and 5 alone for a limited period. Subsequently, the same was not extended for further period. From the above, it is clear that the learned counsel for the petitioners is not interested in prosecuting the case. Apparently, the Calendar Case is of the year 2007 and there was no stay of the proceedings in C.C No. 560 of 2007. Further, as the interim stay granted for a limited period was not extended for further time, it is known as to whether the said case is still pending or whether the same was disposed of. In the light of the above, at this length of time, this Court is not inclined to entertain this petition and go into the merits of the case. Accordingly, Criminal Petition is dismissed. _____________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA Date: 26th April, 2010 Pnb
