JUSTICE DAYA CHAUDHARY Present:- Mr. Sandeep Arora, Advocate for the petitioner. None for the respondent. **** DAYA CHAUDHARY, J.(Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C for direction to the learned trial Court to conclude the trial within some specified period. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that case has been adjourned on various dates on account of non-appearance of the respondent- accused and in spite of issuing non bailable warrants of arrest on various dates, the trial is not being concluded. The respondent appeared before the trial Court, was admitted to bail and thereafter, he is not appearing. Learned counsel for the petitioner also submits that the respondent has jumped the bail thrice and thereafter, non bailable warrants were also issued. It is also the argument of learned counsel for the petitioner that the complaint is of the year 2004 and no progress is there and he has restricted his prayer for conclusion of the trial within some specified period. In view of the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the limited prayer, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to the trial Court to conclude the trial expeditiously preferably within a period of one year. Disposed of accordingly. January 11, 2012 ( DAYA CHAUDHARY ) renu JUDGE
