It is surprising that the Magistrate is not aware that the accused is in jail who is not produced in his Court from 1999. Summonses were issued to the accused-petitioner which were not served. The Magistrate should have known the reasons. Obviously, it appears, prima facie, that the case was not perhaps ever fixed. 2. The report has been also received about another case pending against the petitioner-accused at IIIrd Joint J.M.F.C. Kalyan, District Thane. 3. Both Magistrates are directed to dispose of the trials within a period of six months from today.
