BY THIS OP (CRIMINAL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/01/2011,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: prv. THOMAS P JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------- O.P(Crl).No.1301 of 2010 --------------------------------------- Dated this 24th day of January, 2011 JUDGMENT Petitioner is the de facto complainant in C.C.No.741 of 2009 of the court of learned Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Kollam for offences punishable under Sec. 494, 107 r/w Sec.34 of the Indian Penal Code. Case is that at a time when the marriage of respondent No.1 with her was subsisting, he contracted another marriage and respondent No.1 and others thereby committed offences as above stated. It is submitted by learned Counsel that there are other matrimonial proceedings between petitioner and respondent No.1 and that respondent No.1 is somehow protracting the proceedings. Petitioner wants an early disposal of C.C.No.741 of 2009. 2. I have heard learned counsel for petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor. Without understanding the volume of work of the court concerned and priority for disposal of older cases, it is not possible to issue any direction since the case is of the year 2009. However I make it clear that it is open to the petitioner to appear O.P(Crl).No.1301 of 2010 -: 2 :- through counsel before the learned Magistrate and make a request for expeditious disposal of the case. This petition is closed with the above direction. (THOMAS P JOSEPH, JUDGE) Sbna/-
