In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh CRM No. M-17440 of 2009 (O&M) Sachin Arora ..... Petitioner vs State of Punjab and others ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present Mr. Gurcharan Dass, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Mehardeep Singh, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Rajesh Bindal J. Challenge in the present petition to the order dated 26.3.2009 passed by the learned court below whereby the application for grant of permission to go abroad for the purpose of study has been declined. FIR in question was registered on 12.4.1999 under Sections 420, 380, 456, 457 and 34 IPC. The charges were framed against the petitioner and his other family members on 4.5.2000 under Sections 457 and 380 IPC. Ever since then the trial is pending. It was submitted that there are total thirteen witnesses and only five witnesses have been examined and eight still remain to be examined. Earlier the petitioner filed CRM No. M-8116 of 2008 for permission to go abroad which was allowed by this court vide order dated 28.5.2008. It was noticed therein that out of thirteen witnesses only three have been examined by that time. Since 28.5.2008 till date only two more witnesses have been examined. The next date before the court below is stated to be 28.11.2009. As the trial is pending for the last about a decade, in my opinion, ends of justice will be met in case the trial is expedited. Accordingly, the trial court is directed to conclude the trial positively by 24.12.2009 even if the same is required to be fixed on day to day basis. Disposed of. 4.11.2009 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
