IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. 29947-M of 2004 DATE OF DECISION : 27.05.2008 Bikkar Singh .... PETITIONER Versus State of Punjab and another ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :-HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: None for the petitioner. Mr. Mehardeep Singh, AAG, Punjab. * * * KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (Oral) The present petition has been filed under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. seeking quashing of FIR (Annexure P-4), challan (Annexure P-6), order framing charge (Annexure P-7) and charge sheet (Annexure P-8). The present petition was filed in July, 2004. This Court had issued notice, but had exempted personal appearance of the petitioner before the learned trial court and had ordered that the proceedings may continue. A period of about 4 years is going to lapse. I have no doubt in my mind that by now, the trial may have concluded or may have made a significant progress. Therefore, in the present petition, no relief can be granted, except that the order dated 8.7.2004, exempting the personal appearance of the petitioner before the learned trial court is made absolute. If the trial has not concluded, Crl. Misc. No. 29947-M of 2004 -2- trial court shall make every endeavour to conclude the trial within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. Petition is disposed of with the above observations. May 27, 2008 (KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA) ndj JUDGE
