Mr Pradhan, learned advocate for the petitioner does not press this writ petition and seeks direction to the learned Magistrate to dispose of the trial 2 expeditiously. He submits that one of the witnesses Mr Ravindra Jaykar, who will be the main witness in the case, is 74 years old and, therefore, trial deserves to be expedited. He also invited our attention to case summary, annexed to the petition, wherein it appears that similar request was made by the prosecution. We have perused the relevant portion of the summary on page 80 of the petition. Keeping that in view and having regard to the submission of Mr Pradhan, we observe that the learned Magistrate shall endeavor to dispose of the trial in C.C. No. 304/PW/209, expeditiously. With these observations the writ petition is disposed of. (A.R.JOSHI,J.) (D.B.BHOSALE,J.)
