B.Venkat Rao, v. M/S. Wipro Ltd., Having Its Reged.

THE HON'BLE Dr . JUSTI CE SHAMEEM AKTHER CRI MI NAL PETI TI ON No.2 4 0 2 OF 2 0 1 3 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition, under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, is filed by the petitioner/ accused to call for the records relating to C.C.No.427 of 2012 on the file of XXIV Special Magistrate at Erramanzil, Hyderabad, and quash the same. 2.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner/ accused and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the 2nd respondent-State. Perused the record.

3.

The contention is that it is a long pending Calendar Case and there are no merits in the case.

4.

It is too early to state with regard to merits and demerits of the case. Long pendency cannot be a ground to quash the proceedings. However, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the 2nd respondent-State did not object for expeditious trial and disposal of the subject Calendar Case. 5.

Under these circumstances, the trial Court is directed to dispose of C.C.No.427 of 2012 pending on its file within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6.

With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal petition shall stand closed.
