BARH (BELCHHI), DISTRICT PATNA …… PETITIONERS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 22.4.2011 The petitioners have sought quashing of the entire proceeding of Barh P.S. case No.10 of 2000 in which cognizance has been taken by the order dated 9.4.2000 and 3.8.2000 and committed to the court of Sessions vide Sessions Trial No.18 of 2002. Since the petitioners have sought quashing only on the ground of delay in trial, it would not be in the interest of justice to quash the trial. However, the Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude it positively within a period of six months so that there is no further delay in trial. With these observations, the application is disposed of. Narendra/ ( Anjana Prakash, J. )
