O R D E R

This Criminal Original Petition has been filed to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.3035 of 2013 on the file of the learned Metropolitan Magistrate I FTC at Egmore, having been taken cognizance for the offences punishable under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act.

2. It is seen that when the matter was posted on 17.03.2014 "For Admission", the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner took an adjournment and the matter was adjourned by one week. Thereafter, for the past five years, the learned counsel has not taken any steps to list the matter. It shows that the petitioner has no interest to pursue the matter. Further it is pending for more than five years without even ordering notice. Now after the lapse of five years period, this petition cannot be considered and this Court is not inclined to entertain this petition.
