The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Secs.55(a) and 55(i) of Abkari Act. This petition is filed by the petitioner for a direction to be issued to the trial court to expedite the trial in the aforesaid case. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is likely to get an employment abroad and so the court may be directed to dispose of the case at the earliest. It is reported that there are old cases pending before that court. That must be the reason why the learned Magistrate has not taken up the case to issue summons in that case. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that charge as against this petitioner has already been framed. No time frame can be fixed by the court for disposal of the O.P.(Crl). No.3808 of 2011 -: 2 :- case. However, the court below will try to dispose of the case at an earlier date, but only after examination of the witnesses and completing the procedure in accordance with law. N.K.BALAKRISHNAN, JUDGE.
