Sri A.Sai Rohith, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor, on instructions, submits that in the present matter, a chargesheet has already been laid in C.C.No.490 of 2023 on the file of the learned Additional Junior Civil Judge, Bapatla. Considering that three years have elapsed since the filing of the chargesheet and the Petitioner has not sought amendment of the prayer, it appears that the Petitioner is either not interested in prosecuting the matter or that the parties may have arrived at a settlement before the learned Trial Court. In that view of the matter, the Criminal Petition is disposed of granting liberty to the Petitioner to challenge the chargesheet, if so advised, and if the same is still pending consideration before the learned Trial Court. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, interlocutory applications, if any pending, shall stand closed. _________________________ Dr. Y. LAKSHMANA RAO, J Dt: 10.02.2026 VTS
