MOHAMMED ANZAR THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: THOMAS P.JOSEPH, J. ==================================== Crl. M.C. No.1689 of 2011 ==================================== Dated this the 09th day of June, 2011 O R D E R Petitioner is accused in O.R.No.3 of 2006 of Forest Range, Inchathotti and C.C. No.605 of 2008 of the court of learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kothamangalam. According to the petitioner he was falsely implicated in the case on the strength of a confession statement given by the co-accused. Grievance of petitioner is that trial is not over though the case was booked in 2006 and it was taken on file in the year 2008. Petitioner is a Government servant and on account of pendency of the case he is denied benefit of pay revision. It is prayed that a direction may be issued to the learned Magistrate to dispose of the case expeditiously. I have heard learned Public Prosecutor also. Having regard to the circumstances in which petitioner is placed I am inclined to allow this petition. Resultantly Criminal Miscellaneous Case is allowed. Learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kothamangalam is directed to dispose of C.C. No.605 of 2008 as early as possible (if there is no legal impediment in doing so) having regard to the grievance of petitioner. THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE. vsv
