At the outset Mr. Joglekar submitted that since the applicants are not seeking any directions as against accused persons, who are impleaded as respondents in this application, the applicants be permitted to delete their names. Leave is granted. Necessary amendment be carried out forthwith. 2. Perused the order dated 9th October 2007 passed by the Division bench of this Court in Criminal Applications Nos.2854 of 2004 with other connected Criminal Applications. Under the said order, the concerned Magistrate was directed to expeditiously dispose of the criminal complaints and preferably within a period of six months after the matters are ready for hearing. Yesterday, this matter was on board and it was srp -: 2 :- adjourned today to enable Mr. Jogalekar to make a statement regarding the stage of hearing of the said criminal complaints. Today, Mr. Joglekar accordingly makes a statement that at present the evidence before framing charge is being taken. He invited my attention to the Chart which is at Exhibit-F (page-84) to the petition. Perusal of the said Chart shows that the accused were absent on 16 occasions. He alleged that the accused are protracting the trial. The criminal cases could not become ready for hearing because of non co-operation of the accused persons. In these circumstances, I am of the opinion that the petition can conveniently be disposed by directing the concerned Magistrate, i.e., C.J.M., Pune to conclude the hearing on framing of charge as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of three months from today. Order accordingly. 3. It is made clear that the order of the Division Bench dated 9/10/2007 shall remain in operation as it is. (RANJIT MORE, J.)
