This application has been filed for discharge of the petitioner for offences alleged to have been committed under Sections 467, 468, 471 and 120 (B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code. On behalf of the learned counsel for the petitioner it is said that Dr. Rana Pratap was the person who has identified the photograph of Paltan Das on the loan application. On behalf of the petitioner, it is further said that he was discharged from the duty of distribution of loan and as such there is no material against him. The Court has referred to certain paragraphs of the case diary to say that there is material against the petitioner. The order rejecting the discharge application dated 10.12.2007, three years have passed and it is expected that the trial must have commenced. In any event this Court cannot at this stage examine documents or take into accounts statement to say that the petitioner was not on duty or he was discharged from the duties of dispensing loan. This application is dismissed with the observation that the Court should expedite the trial and conclude it preferably within a period of six months. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
