IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.9112 of 2009 JAGDISH MALLICK @ JAWAHAR MALLICK SON OF LATE SITA RAM MALLICK, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE MARANCHI, P.S. MARANCHI, DISTRICT PATNA …. PETITIONER. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ….. OPPOSITE PARTY. ----------- 6. 6.9.2010 The petitioner was aggrieved by the pendency of the Muffasil P.S.case No.145 of 1993 pending in the court of Shri D.K. Mishra, Judicial Magistrate, Ist class, Munger for an inordinately long period. It has been submitted that even though the case was instituted on 13.7.1993, charge sheet was submitted only on 8.11.2002 and in the mean while the petitioner was exonerated by the department of the same charges, which is the subject matter of the present case. Considering that now charges have been framed on 22.4.2010, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter for these reasons. The application is dismissed with a direction to the trial court to positively conclude the trial within a period of nine months in view of the fact that the occurrence is of the year 1993.
