MR.S.RAJEEV RESPONDENT(S): STATE --------------------------- STATE OF KERALA, REP.BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM (CRIME NO.42 OF 2007 OF KARAMANA POLICE STATION) BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MR.AMJAD ALI THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/03/2009, ALONG WITH CRL.M.C. NO.1162/2009 THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.N. KRISHNAN, J ----------------------- CRL.M.C.No. 1119 OF 2009 & CRL.M.C.No. 1162 OF 2009 --------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of March, 2009 O R D E R Crl.M.C. 1119/2009 is a petition filed to quash all further proceedings in C.C. 947/2007 pending before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-I, Thiruvananthapuram and Crl.M.C. 1162/2009 is filed to quash all further proceedings in S.T. 923/2005 pending before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Thiruvananthapuram. The petitions are filed to quash the proceedings alleging that the whole prosecution is an abuse of process of court. I am informed that the police has filed a Final Report and the matter is pending consideration before the concerned Magistrate. The offence involved are under Sections 420 of the IPC in Crime No. 42/2007 and in the other case under Sections 143, 147, 149, 342 of the IPC. I do not want to quash the proceedings at this stage but it is submitted that the some of the parties involved in the case are eagerly waiting for employment outside and the pendency of this case for a long Crl.M.C. 1119/2009 -2- time here would jeopardize their right and the learned counsel would submit that there should be a direction for an expeditious disposal. So without going into the merits of the case and as the matter has reached a stage where it can be taken up and disposed of, I direct the concerned Magistrate where both matters are pending to expedite the trial as early as possible within a out limit of three months from today. In order to enable the Magistrate to know about the direction, the Registry is directed to send copy of the judgment for necessary compliance. The Crl.M.C is disposed of. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE vkm
