State of Maharashtra and another) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders. and Registrar's orders Mr. H.N. Potbhare, Advocate for the Applicants. Mr. M. Pathan, APP for the Respondent No.1/State. --- CORAM : A.P. BHANGALE, J DATE : 20 th JULY, 2011. Heard. It appears that Criminal Case No.1371/2008 is pending in the Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class, Ballarsha. Applicants have filed this application with a prayer to quash and set aside the order dated 19.01.2011 whereby the prayer of the accused to acquit them is rejected. It appears that the criminal case is pending since long. As charges were framed on 14.11.2008, the anxiety of the party appears that the witnesses shall attend the trial and the trial shall be heard as early as possible. Since it is at the stage of recording of evidence, there is an alternate prayer for issuance of direction to the learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Ballarshah to decide Criminal Case No.1371/2008 by time bound programme. 2 Learned Advocate for respondent no.2 submits that respondent no.2 is ready and willing to adduce her evidence and examine witnesses on her behalf as early as possible and as may be directed by learned Trial Magistrate. That being so, it is expected that the learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Ballarshah shall endeavour to dispose of Criminal Case No.1371/2008 as early as possible, preferably within six months from the date of communication of this order. Application is disposed of accordingly. Parties to cooperate with early hearing. JUDGE NSN
