PC:- 1 After hearing the learned counsel for the Applicant for quite sometime, he does not press this application, however, submits that the Applicant is in custody for almost a year consequent upon his arrest on 02.11.2008. Hence, the learned counsel urges that directions should be issued to the Sessions Judge to commence and conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible. 2 Having regard to totality of the facts and circumstances, I deem it appropriate to direct the Sessions Judge to commence the trial as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of three months from today. If the trial is not commenced within a period of three months from today, liberty is granted to the Applicant to move a fresh application. 3 The Application is dismissed as not pressed with the above direction. -sd- (A.P.
