No.510 of 2011 ==================================== Dated this the 21st day of February, 2011 O R D E R Petitioners are accused in C.C. No.794 of 2010 of the court of learned Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Aluva for offences punishable under the provisions of the Standards of Weights (Enforcement) Act. Grievance of petitioners is that though the case started in the year 2006 it has not so far been disposed of. Learned counsel submits that two witnesses were examined and in the meantime the law officer wanted the case diary in connection with some other case and thereafter the case is not taken up. I have heard the learned Public Prosecutor also. 2. The case is of the year 2006. Having regard to the facts and circumstances stated learned Magistrate is directed to dispose of the case as early as possible if there is no legal impediment in doing so. Criminal Miscellaneous Case is disposed of with the above direction. THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE. vsv
