The petitioner challenges the orders passed by the Magistrate in the Additional Court. The Magistrate rejected the application for discharge and the Revisional Court refused to interfere with the the said order. Sole ground for the discharge was that there was delay in disposal of the complaint. It is now well settled -2- that mere delay in disposal of the complaint in the Criminal Proceeding by itself does not create any ground for dismissal of the complaint and the accused to get himself discharged. Considering the same, no fault is found in the said order. No ground to interfere with the said order. Petition, therefore, is rejected. (R.M.S.Khandeparkar, J.)
