For Petitioner :Mr.C.R.Nimal For Respondents : No appearance O R D E R This petition has been filed to direct the Principal District Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate, Eraniel to take the complaint in Crl.M.P.No.4448 of 2010 on file and issue process to the Accused expeditiously and deal with the matter in accordance with law. 2.Heard Mr.C.R.Nimal, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. Even though the notice has been ordered, the respondent has not been served so far. Since the petitioner has sought for direction to an expeditious disposal of the case at the stage of 202 Cr.P.C., enquiry, I feel that no notice is necessary to be served or issued to the respondent. 3.On the submissions of the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, I could see that the enquiry under 202 Cr.P.C., proceedings is still pending with the learned Principal District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate, Eraniel. The report of the learned Judicial Magistrate would go to show that the case was posted to 18.07.2011 for enquiry under Section 202 Cr.P.C. Proceedings. It is not known as to when the case has been subsequently posted. However, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit in his argument that the case is still pending at the stage of 202 Cr.P.C. proceedings. 4.Considering the said circumstances of the case, I could see that the learned Judicial Magistrate, Eraniel has to be directed to dispose of the complaint filed by the petitioner, which is ripened for enquiry under Section 202 Cr.P.C., within a period of one month and the learned Judicial Magistrate, Eraniel is directed to pursue the said complaint as per the procedure contemplated in the Code. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 5.With the aforesaid direction, this criminal original petition is ordered accordingly.
