CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. B.D. Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) The petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing FIR No.252 dated 9.9.1998 under Sections 452, 506, 148, 149, 120-B IPC registered with Police Station, Nakodar, District Jalandhar. It transpires that the petitioner was declared proclaimed offender. Co-accused has been acquitted. The petitioner is now facing the trial. No ground for quashing the FIR is made out. Crl. Misc. No. M-12273 of 2010 [2] The petition is dismissed. Learned counsel contends that let the Trial Court be directed to conduct the trial expeditiously. I have considered the contention of the learned counsel. It transpires that the trial in regard to the petitioner has started only in October 2009. The petitioner earlier was declared proclaimed offender and caused considerable delay in the process. No such ground has been pointed out which would deserve direction to the Trial Court to expedite the trial of this case at the cost of other cases in which the litigants are vigilant. (AJAI LAMBA) May 03, 2010 JUDGE avin 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
