No. 1102 of 2016. The writ petitioner/respondent No.1 herein had sought quashing the proceedings in Crime No.3 of 2016 of Prathipadu Police Station, East Godavari District. The Writ Petition was allowed by virtue of the judgment and order impugned and hence the present Letters Patent Appeal. It is no longer res Integra that a Letters Patent Appeal is not maintainable against a judgment rendered by a single Bench, passed in exercise of its criminal jurisdiction. Reference in this regard can be made to the Apex Court judgment in the case of Ram Kishan Fauji v. State of Haryana and others\ which has been followed by this Bench in Writ Appeal No.849 of 2023, decided on 28.11.2023. Be that as it may, the Appeal is held to be not maintainable and accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. 1 2017 5 see 533 Sd/- M.S.V. NAVEEN CHANDRA DEPUTY REGISTRAR //TRUE COPYII SEeTION0FFieER To, 1. One CC to Sri P.
