No.550 of 2011 ==================================== Dated this the 22nd day of February, 2011 O R D E R Petitioner is accused in C.C. No.89 of 2008 of the court of learned Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Ranni for offence punishable under Section 279, 338 and 304A of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner seeks a direction for early disposal of the case. He states that summons was ordered on 11.02.2010, none turned up and that thereafter there were several postings but nothing has transpired. In the circumstances request for early disposal. 2. The case is of the year 2008 and as submitted by learned counsel summons was ordered on 11.02.2010. There appears to be some substance in the grievance urged by the petitioner But without understanding the volume of work of the court concerned and priority for disposal of old cases it is not proper for this Court to direct a time bound disposal of the case. Hence petitioner is permitted to request the learned Magistrate for early disposal of the case and if any such request is made learned Magistrate shall consider that request and dispose of the same as early as possible. Criminal Miscellaneous Case is disposed of with the above direction. THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE. vsv
