1 S.B.Cr.Misc. Petition No.187/2008 (Smt. Kanta & Ors. Vs. State of Rajasthan) Date of order : February 18, 2008 HON'BLE MR.H.R.PANWAR,J. Mr.G.R.Bhari, for the petitioner. Mr.L.R.Upadhyay, P.P. for the State. Issue notice for final disposal. Mr.L.R.Upadhyay, learned Public Prosecutor accepts notice for respondent State. With the consent of learned counsel for the parties, this miscellaneous petition under section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short `the Code' hereinafter) is being finally heard and decided at the admission stage. The only grievance raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the trial is pending since 2003 and so far charges have not been framed. It appears from the order- sheets of the trial court that for no good reason, the matter has not been proceeded as it appears that the trial court is yet to frame the charges. The matter is being adjourned for arguments on framing of charge. There is no reason for not 2 proceeding with the trial including framing of charge and recording of the evidence. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the next date before the trial court is 31.3.2008. In the circumstances, therefore, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial including framing of charge and recording the statements of the prosecution witnesses. With this direction, the petition stands disposed of. (H.R.PANWAR),J. m.asif/-
