This is an application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking quashing of order dated 24th April, 2009 passed by Additional Sessions Judge – IXth, Patna in Special Case No. 24 of 2004 refusing the prayer of discharge made by the petitioners. During course of argument, it is pointed out that not only trial before the court below has commenced but also four witnesses have already been examined and only five witnesses named in the charge- sheet are left to be produced. Under such circumstances, it is needless to pass any order on merit in this case. Accordingly, this application stands disposed of. Simultaneously, trial court is directed to proceed expeditiously with the trial and preferably disposed of the case within five months from the date 2 of communication of this order. Let a copy of this order be communicated to the court below through FAX at the cost of the petitioners. Praveen/- ( Akhilesh Chandra, J.)
