Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Ms.Surinder Kaur, Advocate, for Mr.R.S.Malhotra, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, DAG, Punjab, for the State. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. This petition was filed in the year 2009. When it came up for hearing on 9.11.2009, the case was adjourned as the arguing counsel was un-well. No one appeared on the next date, i.e., 10.12.2009 and the case was adjourned sine-die. The case has now been listed as per the orders of Hon'ble the Chief Justice. Ms.Surinder Kaur Advocate appears and prays for adjournment on the ground that the arguing counsel is not available. Having filed this petition, the counsel for the petitioner has not appeared to argue the matter and has only sought adjournment. The criminal revision cannot be kept pending like this. Accordingly, the prayer for adjournment is declined and the prayer made in the petition is considered on merits. This revision is filed against the order framing the charge. Criminal Revision No.2903 of 2011 (O&M) : 2 : The charge has been framed by Addl.Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gurdaspur on 13.10.2008. The petitioner has not filed a revision against this order, which was clearly maintainable. The trial in the case where the charge was framed in the year 2008 must have progressed by now. At this stage, the witnesses ought to have been examined. No case for interfering in the order framing the charge is made out. The revision petition is accordingly dismissed.
