In fact, on 29.03.2010 this Court passed an order that the case has been pending in this Court for four years. It was also directed that the court below should take steps for expediting the trial of the case. It appears that despite the order of the Court, the matter still remains pending in the court below. The allegation in the complaint petition is that the society is praying for payments in instalments. The case of the petitioner is that he had not participated as a Member of the Board of Director in any of the meetings except one and as such he is not responsible for day to day running of the co-operative society. This case has been filed against the order of cognizance. The petitioner would have the liberty to raise all these - 2 - questions at the stage of discharge. This Court cannot examine at this stage, the details regarding the points raised on behalf of the petitioner. The application is thus disposed of with the aforesaid direction.
