DATE DATE DATE : JUNE 10,2005. : JUNE 10,2005. : JUNE 10,2005. P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: 1. Heard Counsel appearing for the parties. The learned counsel for the Applicant states that considering the facts and circumstances of the case if the trial which is pending since 1996 is ordered to be concluded in a time bound programme, he will not press the prayer for grant of bail. He invited my attention to the copy of Roznama of the proceedings. He pointed out that earlier the Applicant has attended the court regularly. As a consequence of cancellation of bail the accused was taken in custody in March 2005 and thereafter the case is adjourned on three dates as the accused was not produced from jail. Considering the fact that the case is pending from 1996 and now the Applicant has been taken into custody prayer made by the learned Counsel is reasonable. 2. Accordingly, the Application is disposed of by directing that the Case No.351/P/1996 shall be decided by the learned Magistrate on or before 30th November 2005. The prosecution will cooperate for early disposal of the trial and will not seek adjournments on unreasonable grounds. 3. Application is disposed of in above terms. - 2 - JUDGE JUDGE JUDGE
