I have gone through the records. The short grievance of the petitioner is that in a prosecution under Section 498 A I.P.C against the petitioner, a senior citizen, aged about 68 years, the proceedings are not coming to a conclusion even though the Calendar Case was registered as early as in 2006. 2. Report of the learned Magistrate was called for. In the report, the learned Magistrate submits that the Magistrate may be given 4 months’ time from 3.3.08 for the final disposal of the case. 3. I am satisfied that the said report of the learned Magistrate can be accepted and no further directions are necessary in this Writ Petition. 4. Accordingly this Writ Petition is dismissed accepting the submission of the learned Judicial Magistrate of the First Class-I, Attingal in his report dated 3.3.08 that the case against W.P(C).No.6514 of 2008 2 the petitioner ie. C.C.204 of 2006 shall be disposed of on or before 3.7.08. Compliance shall be reported to this Court by the learned Magistrate. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) rtr/-
