No.1500 of 2011 ==================================== Dated this the 25th day of May, 2011 O R D E R Petitioner is accused in Crime No. 170 of 2007 of Pavaratty Police Station and S.C. No.846 of 2010 of the court of learned Additional Sessions Judge, Thrissur for offence punishable under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner seeks to quash proceeding against him on the strength of an (alleged) settlement reached with the second respondent or in the alternative requests that learned Additional Sessions Judge may be directed to expedite trial of the case. Petitioner has got employment abroad and in view of the pendency of the case he is finding it difficult to leave the Country immediately. I have heard learned counsel for second respondent and learned Public Prosecutor. Having regard to the submission made by learned counsel I am inclined to direct early disposal of the case. Resultantly, Criminal Miscellaneous Case is disposed of directing learned Additional Sessions Judge, Thrissur to dispose of S.C. No.846 of 2010 as early as possible having regard to the CRL.M.C. No. 1500 of 2011 -: 2 :- grievance of petitioner that in view of the pendency of the case he is unable to go abroad in connection with the employment he has acquired. THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE. vsv
