The applicant(original respondent No.2) has moved the present application for expeditious hearing, who has filed proceeding under section 138 of the N.I.Act against seven accused persons. Process was issued by the learned J.M.F.C.Kalyan. The said order of issuance of process was challenged before this Court in Criminal Writ Petition No. 2563 of 2006. This writ petition is prayed to be taken up for early hearing. 2. The writ petition has already been admitted and proceeding only against original accused Nos. 3 to 6 was stayed and there was no any impediment for the learned J.M.F.C. to proceed against accused Nos. 1, 2 and 7. In fact, reportedly, there was such direction from this Court that case against the said remaining accused should proceed. 3. By the present criminal application, original complainant has asked two fold prayer. Firstly, to expedite the hearing so that there should be possibility of trial of the petitioners also in case of dismissal of writ petition. Secondly, it is prayed that R and P of the matter which is brought before this Court to be sent back to the learned J.M.F.C.Kalyan for taking further action against remaining accused Nos. 1, 2 and 7. 4. After hearing rival submissions for short, it appears to this Court that there is substance in the prayers mentioned in the present criminal application as to expeditious hearing or otherwise there would be multiplicity of proceeding and there would not be a legal harmony. 5. In the result, application is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a). 6. Criminal Writ Petition No. 2563 of 2006 to appear before appropriate Bench for its expeditious disposal after two weeks. 7. Application No.1 of 2009 stands disposed of. (A.R.JOSHI,J.) (A.R.JOSHI,J.) (A.R.JOSHI,J.)
