IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.7589-M of 2007 Date of decision: February 6, 2007. Jagshir Brar ...Petitioner(s) v. State of Punjab & Anr. ...Respondent(s) CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest. Present: Shri Yogesh Goel, Advocate for the petitioner. ORDER In this petition under section 482 Cr.P.C., the petitioner is seeking quashing of FIR No.25 dated 17.2.2005, under section 420, 465, 468, 471 IPC, registered at Police Station Dharamkot, District Moga, along with all other consequential proceedings. Alternatively, the petitioner also seeks a direction to expedite and conclude the trial proceedings as early as possible. The petitioner and her husband are facing trial in the above stated case. Though, after hearing Learned Counsel for the petitioner and having regard to the stage of the trial, I am of the considered view that no case for quashing of the FIR is made out at this stage, however, keeping in view the fact that five prosecution witnesses have also been examined but no evidence is being led thereafter from the last more than eight months, this petition is disposed of with the following directions:- (i)the learned trial court, in addition to one opportunity on the date fixed i.e. 163.2007, shall grant not more than one more opportunity to the prosecution to lead and conclude its entire evidence; (ii) the petitioner and her husband shall also not be granted more than two opportunities to lead their defence evidence; (iii) thereafter, the trial court shall make an endeavour to conclude the trial as early as possible but preferably on or before June 30, 2007. Disposed of. February 6, 2007. [ Surya Kant ] kadyan Judge
