CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Mn THOMAS P JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------- Crl.M.C.No.1659 of 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this 07th day of June, 2011 ORDER Petitioner is second accused in Crime No.181 of 2010 of Muhamma Police Station for offences punishable under Sec.324, 326 and 304 r/w Sec.34 of the Indian Penal Code. The prayer in this petition is to quash proceeding against him. At the time of hearing, learned counsel submitted that the only request that the petitioner makes is a direction to the courts below for speedy disposal of the case since petitioner is awaiting appointment in Kerala police service and pendancy of the case may mar his chance. I have heard learned Public Prosecutor also. 2. In the light of the submission made by learned counsel it is not necessary for me to refer to the question whether proceeding against petitioner is liable to be quashed or not. 3. Considering the submission of learned counsel that petitioner is likely to get appointment in the police service and that the chance of selection might be marred by the pendancy of the case, learned Judicial First Class Magistrate-II, Cherthala is directed to expedite proceeding for committal of the case and the Crl.M.C.No.1659 of 2011 -: 2 :- learned Sessions Judge who is to try the case is directed to disposed of the case (if there is no legal impediment in doing so), having regard to the situation in which the petitioner is placed. This criminal miscellaneous case is disposed of with the above direction. (THOMAS P JOSEPH, JUDGE) Sbna/- /True Copy/ P.A to Judge
