THESE CRIMINAL PETITIONS ARE COMING ON FOR ADMISSION THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:-
O R D E R Learned counsel for the petitioners is absent even when the matters were called in the afternoon session.
Petitioners have sought to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.1150/2015 on the file of learned Addl. Civil Judge and JMFC, Mandya.
Since there was no reference to the C.C. numbers in any of the records produced before the Court, the learned counsel for the petitioners was directed to clarify the matter and ascertain the status of the proceedings before the Lower Court. Learned counsel has not responded to the direction.
In view of the above discrepancy, no order could be passed in the petitions. Consequently, the petitions are dismissed.
