CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: R.BASANT, J ------------------------------------ Crl.M.C.No.990 of 2007 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of June, 2007 ORDER The report of the learned Magistrate has been received. The grievance of the petitioner is that there is delay in the Forensic Science Laboratory examining the documents forwarded. The report of the learned Magistrate shows that finally, the relevant documents were sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory only on 02.05.2007. In these circumstances, I am not satisfied that any specific time bound direction need be issued. Suffice it to say that I expect the Forensic Science Laboratory to ensure that the requisite examination is done and the report is forwarded to the learned Magistrate as expeditiously as possible. 2. This Crl.M.C is, dismissed, with the above observation. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) rtr/-
