JUDGEMENT Rakesh Kumar and j. JJ. 1. On 30.4.2010, on repeated calls, none appeared on behalf of the petitioner either to press this petition or to make a prayer for adjournment. However, as a last indulgence, the case was adjourned for a day. It was indicated in its order dated 30.4.2010 that interim order of stay in the present case is continuing since 1.10.1999. It was further made clear that if on the next day, no one appears on behalf of the petitioner, the case shall be decided on the basis of materials available on record of the case. 2. Today again, when the case was called out, none has come forward to press this petition. 3. The sole petitioner, while invoking inherent jurisdiction of this Court under Sec.482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, has prayed for quashing of order dated 8.6.1999 whereby the learned Judicial Magistrate has taken cognizance for the offence under Sec.420 of the Indian Penal Code and directed for issuance of summon for securing attendance of the accused/petitioner.4. I have examined the materials available on record as well as impugned order of cognizance. The petitioner has not made out an exceptional case warranting exercise power under Sec.420 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in his favour. Accordingly, I do not find any merit in this petition and petition stands rejected. 4. In view of rejection of the present petition, interim order of stay stands automatically vacated. 5. Let a copy of this order be sent to the court below forthwith.
