No.3547 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of September, 2008 ORDER To cut a long story short, the short relief that the learned counsel for the petitioner presses at the end of the arguments is that Criminal Appeal No.598 of 2008 pending before the Sessions Judge, Thiruvananthapuram may be directed to be disposed of expeditiously. The counsel laments that a complete order granting stay has not been issued by the Sessions Court. In these circumstances, he prays that there may be a direction for expeditious disposal of Criminal Appeal No.598 of 2008. 2. It is submitted at the Bar that the respondent has already entered appearance and the matter is ripe for hearing. I need only direct the learned Sessions Judge, Thiruvananthapuram to dispose of Criminal Appeal No.598 of 2008 as expeditiously as possible - at any rate, before 31.10.08 and it is directed so. 3. This Crl.M.C is allowed to the above extent. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) rtr/- 2
