Glady Joshua, Son of Joshua, Resident of Mohalla Cristian Quarter, Church Road, P.S. Bettiah Town, District West Champaran. ---------- Opposite Parties ----------- 2 16.04.2010 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the opposite party no.2, while this Court is not inclined to interfere with the impugned order rejecting prayer of the petitioners for discharge under Section 227 of the Cr.P.C., this much is to be ensured by this Court that the trial against the petitioners does not got unnecessarily dragged to an uncertain period of time. That being so, when the counsel for the informant is also present here and has undertaken to produce his witnesses (apart from official witness) within a period of six months, this Court, by taking into account that the charge has already been framed against the petitioners, would direct the 2 trial court to ensure that the trial of the petitioner is positively concluded within a period of nine months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the aforementioned observations and direction, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
