He would therefore, request the Court for suitable direction. 5.However, the learned Government Advocate (criminal side) would submit in his argument that the charge sheet has been filed along with the F.I.R. and the said Court has taken it on file in C.C.No.69 of 2011 and the same is pending and further proceedings are being carried on. 6.Recording the submissions of the learned Government Advocate (criminal side) that the F.I.R. has been traced and produced and however all other papers were found available and the case was taken on file in C.C.No.69 of 2011, this Court could see that there is no reason to issue another direction for substitution of F.I.R. 7.At this juncture, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that a specific direction may be issued for the early disposal of the case, since the cause of action for the case has been emenated emanated during the year 2007. 8.Considering the submissions, I am inclined to issue a direction to the learned Judicial Magistrate No.2, Virudhunagar, to dispose of the case as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of 6 months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
