BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. K.J. MOHAMED ANZAR THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Mn THOMAS P.JOSEPH, J. ==================================== Crl. M.C. No.1691 of 2011 ==================================== Dated this the 09th day of June, 2011 O R D E R Petitioner, as learned counsel submits, is C.W.1 in Crime No.152 of 2003 of Kollam West Police Station and C.C. No.2758 of 2008 of the court of learned Judicial First Class Magistrate-II, Kollam (C.C. No.644 of 2004, JMFC, Paravoor). Petitioner was given interim custody of the vehicle as per order of learned Magistrate. Difficulty of petitioner is that since the case is not disposed of he is unable to dispose of the vehicle as he is bound to produce the same as and when directed by the court. Hence it is prayed that a direction may the issued to the learned Magistrate to dispose of the case expeditiously. I have heard learned Public Prosecutor also. Having regard to the grievance of petitioner I am inclined to allow the request. Resultantly Criminal Miscellaneous Case is allowed. Learned Judicial First Class Magistrate-II, Kollam is directed to dispose of C.C. No.2758 of 2008 as early as possible if there is no legal impediment in doing so. THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE. vsv
