IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13070 of 2010 NAGENDRA MAHTO, S/o Laxman Mahto, R/o Village-Sitalpatti, P.S.-Dhaka, District-East Champaran. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 10.12.2010 The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 20.03.2010 passed in S.Tr. No. 845 of 2003 by which the Additional Sessions Judge, F.T.C.-II, Motihari has refused for further cross-examination of the witnesses. Evidently the prayer was made after much delay. In view of such, the application is dismissed. The Sessions Judge is directed to make an inquiry as to how a petition or why a petition filed on 13.09.2005 was finally disposed off only on 20.03.2010. The Sessions Judge is further directed to call a meeting of his other judicial colleagues and impress upon them the desirability of not keeping such petitions pending which result in unnecessary delay of trials. However, the inquiry should not further delay the conclusion of the trial. Let this order be communicated through FAX at the cost of the petitioner. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
