After hearing learned counsel for the applicant for quite sometime he suggests that he would not press these applications in case directions is issued to the court below to commence and conclude the trial expeditiously. Having regard to the fact that the applicant is in custody since 25.11.07 the prayer for expeditious trial is justified. In the result the applications are disposed of as not pressed. However the trial Court is directed to expeditiously proceed with the trial of the case. I hope and trust that the court below will make endevour to commence the trial within a period of four months from today. 6.8.2009.
