Petitioners Versus Ram Kishore Saini ... Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr. Sachin Mittal, Advocate for the petitioners. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) The present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking quashing of complaint bearing No. 178/2001 dated 12.1.2001 titled as “Ram Kishore Saini v. Ishwar Singh Saini and Others”, under Sections 419, 420, 463, 464, 467, 468 and 471 IPC read with Sections 511 and 120-B IPC along with all the subsequent proceedings. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that vide summoning order dated 13.9.2002 (Annexure P2), the petitioners were summoned to stand trial. He contends that the petitioners are appearing in the trial Court for the last so many years and still the case is pending for pre-charge evidence. Learned counsel submits that he will modulate his prayer to the extent that either personal appearance of the petitioners may be exempted or the trial Court be directed to conclude Criminal Misc. No. M-38986 of 2011 2 the trial within a stipulated time frame. He further submits that Article 21 of the Constitution of India vests right of speedy trial in the petitioners. I find merit in the alternative prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioners. Hence, the present petition is disposed of by directing the trial Court to conclude trial of the complaint within a period of one year from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
