Thnlrur O R D E R (Passed on this 18th Day ofAugust, 2008) With the consent of learned counsel appearing for the parties, the matter is head finally. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is being unduly hamssed as the charge sheet, nled against the petitioner on 18.6.1982, is pending consideran'on in the trial Court. Till date the trial has not been concluded and the petitioner has been sunen'ng for the last more than 26 years. It is trite law that expeditious disposal is also a part of the fundamental right and the alleged accused cannot be put in limbo, as the trial has not been concluded for 26 years. It is, therefore, desirable in the interest of justice that the trial be concluded within a period of six months horn the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is ordered, acmrdingly. In View of the foregoing, the petition stands disposed of. Sd/~ ‘ Satish K. Agnihotri 'Judge
