Tiwari, P.P. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners. The order passed by the trial court under Sec. 142 Cr.P.C. has been stayed by this court. The stay has been operative since 1999. In that view of the matter, it is not necessary to interfere in the order passed by the trial court under Sec. 142 Cr.P.C. Having remained the proceedings in abeyance for 8 years, no useful purpose would be served in going into the merits of the order passed by the learned trial court. The trial court is directed to adjudicate the proceedings as far as possible within the period of six months. The miscellaneous petition is disposed of with the aforesaid directions.
