Opp. Party --------- CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PRADEEP KUMAR SRIVASTAVA -------- For the Petitioners : Mr. Sunil Kumar, Advocate. For the State : Mrs. Ruby Pandey, A.P.P. --------- Order No. 05/Dated: 16th January, 2025 It appears that on earlier occasion on 17.10.2019, nobody appeared on behalf of the petitioners and vide order dated 20.09.2024, adjournment was given to the petitioners as a last chance for hearing of this matter. In spite of that, today also learned counsel for the petitioners is seeking adjournment without any cogent reason simply to contact his clients. There is no reason to continue this proceeding for such a long period of seven years, which has been filed only for quashing the cognizance order dated 30.07.2018 for the serious offence including Section 307 of the I.P.C. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State has opposed the prayer and has submitted that due to non-prosecution by the petitioners, the case is pending since long. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, the present criminal miscellaneous petition is dismissed. (Pradeep Kumar Srivastava, J.) Sunil/
