DATE : 26 th October, 2010. P.C. 1 Heard the learned counsel for the Petitioner. 2 Considering the reasons stated by the Metropolitan Magistrate in his order dated 24 th September, 2010, we are not inclined to issue any peremptory direction for early hearing of the trial. We find no fault with the Magistrate for declining request of expeditious trial as the case pertains to year only 2005, whereas old matters which are seven or ten years were still pending and priority was given by the Court to under trial prisoners cases. The only indulgence that can be shown to the Petitioner is to permit the Petitioner to apply before the concerned Court for exemption from personal appearance during the relevant dates, which 2 24 wp.3058.10 application if filed may be considered by the concerned Court on its own merits in accordance with law. Petition disposed of accordingly. [ P.D. KODE, J ] [ A.M. KHANWILKAR, J ]
