CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: R.BASANT, J ------------------------------------ Crl.M.C. No.4264 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of December, 2008 ORDER The grievance of the petitioner, who is the complainant in a prosecution under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, was that the learned Magistrate is not disposing of the case. Report of the learned Magistrate was called for. The report shows that the case has already been disposed of on 19.11.08. The accused has been found guilty, convicted and sentenced. 2. There is no representation for the petitioner. I assume that the grievance of the petitioner having already been redressed, the petitioner does not want to further prosecute this Crl.M.C. This Crl.M.C has now become redundant and unnecessary. 3. This Crl.M.C is accordingly dismissed as unnecessary. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) rtr/- 2 R.BASANT, J ------------------------------------ Crl.M.C. No.4264 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of November, 2008 3 ORDER The short grievance of the petitioner, who is complainant in a prosecution under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, is that the learned Magistrate is not disposing of the complaint though the matter has already been heard and judgment reserved for a long period of time. 2. Call for a report from the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate. Why is the case not disposed of ? How much time will be required to dispose of the case ? I expect a report throwing light on the above aspects on or before 02.12.2008. I need only mention that if there is no legal impediment, I expect the learned Magistrate to dispose of the complaint as expeditiously as possible - at any rate, before 01.12.2008 if that be possible. 3. Hand over a copy of this order to the learned counsel for the petitioner to produce the same forthwith before the learned Magistrate. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) rtr/-
