In the interregnum, parties have resorted to other proceedings before the lower Court as well as this Court and the Supreme Court. 2. Suffice it to observe that this Court has already directed the Trial Court to dispose of the : 2 : criminal proceedings as expeditiously as possible, preferably within six months from receipt of writ of order dated September 15, 2004. I am informed that pursuant to the said direction, the trial has been set in motion and as accused No.1 did not appear, non-bailable warrants have already been issued against him. 3. In this view of the matter, it is not necessary to examine the contentious issues raised in the present Petition. Leaving all questions open, the Petition is disposed of with liberty to the Petitioner to take recourse to remedy, as may be advised in the context of the orders passed by the lower Court against the accused No.1, who is reportedly avoiding trial. 4. Petition disposed of on the above terms. A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.
