TO JUDGE Mn B.P.RAY, J. ----------------------------------- Crl.M.C.Nos.2408 & 2586 OF 2005 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 26th day of July, 2011 O R D E R Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned counsel for the defacto complainant and the learned Public Prosecutor. Petitioners are accused of offences punishable under Sections 447, 427, 114 and 34 IPC in C.C.No.782/03 pending in the Court of Judicial First Class Magistrate -III, Kottayam. They have prayed in these applications to quash the charge against them. I am not inclined to quash the charge at this stage. It is open to the petitioners to raise all points during the trial. However, considering the fact that the petitioners are businessmen, if they surrender and file application for bail on or before 10.8.2011, the learned Magistrate shall release them on bail on such terms and conditions as he deems fit and thereafter, they may be permitted to defend thereafter through their counsel. This case is of the year 2003. Learned Magistrate is directed to expedite trial and conclude the same Crl.MC.2408/05 & 2586/05 2 within six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Crl.M.Cs. are disposed of as above. Sd/- B.P.Ray, Judge. kkb.26/7.
