The report of the learned Magistrate was called for. The report shows that the accused had appeared on 15.1.2007. Bail was granted to him and later an application was filed for expeditious disposal of the case. On the basis of that, charges have already been framed. The plea of the accused has been recorded and the case was posted for trial to 5.3.07 after issuing summons to the accused. The witnesses present could not be examined on 5.3.2007. Thereupon the case was adjourned to 26.3.2007. The learned Magistrate reports that on the basis of the petition filed by the petitioner, due preference was given to the disposal of the case and the learned Magistrate undertakes that the case shall be disposed of as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, on or before 31.7.2007. 2. I accept the report submitted by the learned Magistrate.

Compliance shall be reported to this Court. 3. This writ petition is dismissed, accepting the report of the learned Magistrate. (R. BASANT) Judge tm
