No.1930 of 2011 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of June, 2011. JUDGMENT Petitioner is accused in Crime No.875 of 2008 of Chavara Police Station and C.C.No.190 of 2009 of the court learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Karunagappally for offences punishable under Sections 451, 324, 323, 506(i), 354 and 427 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner seeks a direction for early disposal of the case. I have heard learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor. 2. Learned counsel submitted that petitioner is working in a Government company in Qatar and as per the job policy of that company, petitioner could avail 24 days leave in a year. Petitioner is now on leave. Hence it is prayed that a direction for early disposal of the case may be given. 3. It is seen that Crime is registered in the year 2008 and Calendar Case is of the year 2009. Having regard to the difficulties expressed by petitioner it is only just and proper to direct learned Magistrate to dispose of C.C.No.190 of 2009 pending before him as expeditiously as possible (provided there is no legal impediment in doing so). Resultantly this petition is disposed of directing learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Karunagappally to dispose of C.C.No.190 of 2009 as expeditiously as possible if there is no legal impediment in doing so.
