Mann, Advocate for Gursharanjit Singh alias Gulshan alias Gusha (petitioner in Criminal Misc. No.M-14664 of 2010) after arguing the case for some time submit that they may be allowed to withdraw these petitions. However, the learned trial Court may be directed to proceed with the trial as the petitioners are in custody since March 2009 and no witness has been recorded till date. Learned counsel for the State has submitted that accused Jagdish Singh was granted bail by the trial Court and he has absconded. Therefore, the trial has been held-up, however, charges have now been framed on 4.1.2011 and the case is fixed for 21.3.2011. Learned counsel for the complainant Kuljeet Singh has submitted that he has filed Criminal Misc. No.M-24617 of 2010 seeking cancellation of bail granted to Waryam Singh and Shamsher Singh and they have only recently put in appearance. The case involves the death of Sukhdev Singh alias Boota Singh while he was admitted in hospital. Besides, there has been use of fire arms. However, it may be noticed that the trial in the case has also been Cr. Misc. Nos.M-14664 of 2010 etc. [3] delayed considerably. Therefore, it would be just and expedient to allow the petitioners to withdraw their petitions at this stage but at the same time, the learned trial Court shall make every effort and endeavour to expedite the trial in the case and if possible by conducting day to day trial. The criminal miscellaneous petitions are accordingly dismissed as withdrawn at this stage. However, the learned trial Court shall make every effort and endeavour to conclude the trial in the case as expeditiously as possible. March 15, 2011. (S.S. Saron) Judge *hsp*
