NO. 5697 OF 2009 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 20th day of February, 2009. J U D G M E N T This writ petition is preferred with a prayer to direct the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Chalakkudy to take necessary steps to expedite the trial in C.C.492/08 pending before the said Court. The petitioner is facing a charge u/s 498A of IPC and it is submitted that it affects his job opportunities and he is not able to leave the country. The petition is of the year 2008. It is always desirable that we are able to dispose of the matters at the earliest but everything depends upon the volume of work which is pending in a Court and therefore it may not be right to give a direction to the Courts in later filed cases for a time bound disposal but that does not mean that it shall never be done so. So I direct the petitioner herein to file an application for an early trial before the concerned Magistrate and the concerned Magistrate shall consider it sympathetically and if possible fix a date for trial W.P.C 5697 OF 2009 -:2:- after taking into consideration convenience of the petitioner as well as the Public Prosecutor. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. Sd/- M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/- [True copy]
