It is unfortunate that in the case of the year 1998 cognizance was taken in the year 2006 and still more unfortunate that the case is still pending for trial. This application is dismissed. The trial court is directed to expedite the proceeding in view of the fact that the case is of the year 1998. Anilkr.sinha ( Anjana Prakash,J.)
