Though there can be no dispute with the factual position that trial against the petitioner/accused has been inordinately delayed and various orders passed by this Court on the judicial side directing expeditious disposal have not been able to persuade the learned Trial Court to conclude the trial, it also cannot be lost sight of that the petitioner is facing a charge under Section 302 IPC. In the circumstances of the case, the petition is dismissed, However, it is directed that learned Trial Court shall positively conclude the trial by 30.11.2008. The acknowledgment (of the order of this Court) issued by the concerned Judicial Officer shall be forwarded to the Registry of this Court. Learned Sessions Judge shall himself maintain a tab to ensure that the case is disposed of by afore-mentioned date. This Court is constrained to pass this order in view of the fact that the trial has not been concluded inspite of the orders passed by this Court in Criminal Misc. Nos.7751-M of 2006 and 64665-M of 2006. October 21, 2008 (S.D. ANAND) Pka JUDGE
