Kurnool, dated 30.ll.2011 and prays that thI'S Hon'ble Court may be pleased to set-
aside the Order of acquittal and convict the accused/respondents for the offences
with which they were charged.
The Appeal coming on for hearing, upl,n perusing the appeal and the grounds
filed in support thereof and having observed that there is no representation on behalf
of the responclents, the court made the following
ORDER:
flThis is an Appeal preferred by the state, against the judgment of
acquittal under Section 378 Cr.P.C. Leave was already granted by the court to the State to prefer Appeal against the acquittal. The Appeal was also admitted. Thereafter, the Appeal is coming on for hearing9 but the respondents are not turning up for hearing. on 28.06.2023, when thle Appeal stood posted for hearing, there was no representatl'-3n On behalf Of the respondents even though learned AdditI-Opal Pubfl-c prosecutor was ready for hearing. Therefore, as I-I is an old Appeal of the year 2O15, it is ordered to list the matter for hearing today I-.e., on o5.07.2023. But today also there is no representation on behalf of the respondentsT So, the court could not proceed with the hearing of the Appeal, as respondents are not turning up for hearl-ng and there was no representatI-On On thel-r behalf and as their counsel is also being absent and he is also not turnl-ng up for he;ring.
In the sat-d cI-rCumStances] learned Addl-tional public Prosecutor has drawn our attention to section 390 Cr|P.C and would request to issue NBW directing for their arrest and to brI-ng them before the court for the purpose of Proceeding with the hearing of the matter.
SectI-On 390 Cr.P.C reads tlluS:

As the respondents/accused are not turning up for hearI-ng I-n this Appeal, the court is constrained to invoke section 390 ,Cr.P.C to secure thel-r presence for the purpose of proceeding with hearing of the Appeal.
Therefore, js'sue NEW agaltnSt the respondents/accused, through the superI-ntendent of Police, KurnooI District, to arr6st them and to produce them before the court.
