Crl.M.No.15227 of 2009 (O&M) -2- I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been stated by learned State counsel, on instructions from Ajaib Singh, S.I., that evidence of the prosecution has already been concluded and for recalling of only one witness, application under Section 311 Cr.P.C. has been moved and the case is fixed for today, which is being taken up now on day-to-day basis. Hence, in view of these facts, learned counsel for the petitioners do not want to press these petitions, at this stage. Dismissed as withdrawn, at this stage. However, learned trial court is directed to take the trial on day- to-day basis, as already ordered and efforts be made to conclude the same within one month, as both the petitioners have been continuing in custody for the last more than five years. 14.5.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
