State of Punjab and another ......Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Vinod K.Kataria, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is for issuance of direction to learned trial Court to conclude the trial in case FIR No.12, dated 29.1.2003,, under Sections 498-A, 406, 420, 494 IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar, Moga, within three months. Heard. As per averments made in the petition, trial could not proceed as petitioner did not appear in the Court as he went abroad and was declared proclaimed offender on 21.7.2003. He remained absconding for a period of six years and surrendered in April 2009, when he was granted interim bail by this Court. Hence, trial commenced on 9.9.2009 and hence, it cannot be said that there is inordinate delay on the part of the trial Court in proceeding with the trial, rather the trial could not proceed due to the fault of petitioner himself. Hence, in view of these facts, no case for issuance of direction to learned trial Court to conclude the trial within three months is made out. Dismissed. 7.5.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
