None for the respondents. ***** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? ** NIRMALJIT KAUR, J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C for issuance of direction to the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Amritsar to dispose of/expedite the trial of the complaint Case No.129/05/07/10 dated 02.05.2005 filed by the petitioner under Sections 406, 420, 466, 471/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. It is contended that the complaint was instituted way back in the year 2005 but trial of the case has hardly made any progress. Even charge has not been framed till now. The accused have succeeded in delaying the proceedings. Zimni orders have been placed on record as Annexure P-3. No one was present on behalf of the respondents in spite of service. The matter was adjourned on 05.01.2011 for arguments. Today also, no one is present on behalf of the respondents. In view of the short prayer made by learned counsel for the Crl. Misc. No.M-32766 of 2010 2 petitioners, as well as, taking into account the zimni orders which show that the trial has indeed not progressed, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to the trial Court to expedite the trial of the complaint Case No.129/05/07/10 dated 02.05.2005 filed by the petitioner under Sections 406, 420, 466, 471/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and finally decide the same as expeditiously as possible preferably within one year from today. Disposed of as above. (NIRMALJIT KAUR) 19.04.2011 JUDGE gurpreet
