Heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. The Applicant has sent a letter through jail, in which he has mentioned that the criminal proceeding initiated against him may be expedited. He has stated that one accused is absconding and the other old accused is expired. He, therefore, requested that the case of the absconding co-accused may be separated. 3.
