CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/04/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.N. KRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = CRL.M.C. NO. 1194 OF 2009 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 8th day of April, 2009. O R D E R This is an application filed with a prayer to direct the lower Court to complete the trial of Sessions case No.1119/06 pending before the Sessions Court, Kollam within a short time frame. There was a direction given in an earlier bail application directing the Sessions Judge to dispose of the matter within 45 days. Somehow or the other it has not materialized and therefore when this application was filed I have called for a report from the learned Sessions Judge. The learned Sessions Judge through a report informed this Court that he has not been communicated about the order in bail application 7317/08. Now yesterday also I directed the Registry to contact the Sessions Judge to find out whether he can advance the case schedule from 10/6/09 to an earlier date. He had informed the Registry that he will be on leave till 8/6/2009 and therefore he may not be able to advance the case. Since the offence includes Crl.M.C. 1194 OF 2009 -:2:- one under the Schedule Caste and Schedule Tribes Act trial can be done only by the Principal Sessions Judge. Now in the light of the report this Court is also helpless to give a direction for the reason that after the reopening of the Court time is short before the Principal Sessions Judge join but I make it clear that the Sessions Judge shall positively take up the matter on 10/6/2009 and have a day-today trial and dispose of the matter in accordance with law. This will not debar the party from moving an application for bail before the Court below. The Crl.M.C. is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
