...Respondent

Prayer in Crl.OP.No.11040 of 2023: Petition filed under Section 378(4) of Code of Criminal Procedure to grant special leave to file criminal appeal against judgment dated 18.08.2023 in C.C.No.9953 of 2017 passed by the learned II Metropolitan Magistrate, Egmore, Chennai. Prayer in Crl.A.SR.No.63076 of 2023: Appeal filed under Section 378(4) of Code of Criminal Procedure to set aside the judgment dated 18.08.2023 in C.C.No.9953 of 2017 passed by the learned II Metropolitan Magistrate, Egmore, Chennai.

For Petitioner : Mr.S.Elangovan (No Appearance)

ORDER

When the matter was listed for hearing on earlier occasion i.e., 1/3

24.06.2024, none appeared on behalf of the petitioner. Thus, this Court passed an order, directing the Registry to list the matter on 26.06.2024 under the caption "For Dismissal".

2. Even today, when the matter was taken up for hearing, though the learned counsel for the petitioner appeared before this Court, however, he only sought for further adjournment, which clearly shows that the learned counsel for the petitioner is not interested to prosecute the matter and therefore, no useful purpose would be served in keeping this Criminal Original Petition.

3. Accordingly, this Criminal Original petition stands dismissed for non prosecution. Consequently, the Criminal Appeal is rejected at the SR stage itself.
