IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-33107 of 2010 DATE OF DECISION: November 15, 2010 Narinder Singh Thiara …..Petitioner versus State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr.Anant Kataria, Advocate for the petitioner .. RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) This is a petition under section 482 Cr.P.C. wherein a prayer has been made for direction to learned trial court to conclude the trial in case titled 'State vs. Narender Pal Thiara' within three months. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that trial of the case is pending since 2003, but trial has made no headway. He, therefore, prays that a direction deserves to be issued to trial court to conclude the trial expeditiously. It is apparent on record that petitioner was declared a proclaimed offender during the pendency of trial and remained absconding till the year 2009. It is, thus, evident that it is the petitioner who is responsible for delaying the trial for such a long time. Crl.Misc.No.M-33107 of 2010 - 2 - Under the circumstances, the prayer made in this petition is totally misconceived. The petition is without any merit and is hereby dismissed in limine.
