RAMKUMAR, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(c).No.17419 of 2010 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 16 th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT Petitioner, who is the 1st accused in C.C.No.644/2008 on the file of the J.F.C.M , Thiruvalla for offences punishable under Sections 403 and 420 read with 34 IPC, seeks a direction to the Magistrate to expedite the trial of the above case. 2. According to the petitioner he is a 100% disabled person as evidenced by Ext.P2 certificate. The above direction is sought in view of the freezing of the two bank accounts of the petitioner by the Investigating Agency. He says that he is unable to operate the bank account on account of the freezing of the bank accounts. That is why he prays for an expeditious disposal of the above case. 3. This Court had called for a report from the J.F.C.M, Thiruvalla. The letter dated 11.6.2010 sent by the trial Magistrate reveals that it is a heavy court and considering the nature of pendency in that court and the burden of work in the matter of disposal of the targeted cases, it is submitted that at W.P.(c)No.17419 of 2010 2 least one year will be necessary for the disposal of the above case. I see no reason why the above report should not be accepted. Accordingly this writ petition is disposed of directing J.F.C.M, Thiruvalla to dispose of C.C.No.644 of 2008 expeditiously, and at any rate within a period of 12 months of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Dated this the 16th day of June, 2010. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE sj
