What did the court decide?
Taking into consideration the nature of the offence i.e. Sections 341/500/120-B IPC, and the passage of 18 years with continued non-appearance by the petitioner, further continuance of the present proceeding would be an abuse of the process of law, and accordingly the CRLLP stands dismissed. ¶19
