ORDER
The simple prayer made in this petition is for a
direction to the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class-III,
Thiruvananthapuram to dispose of C.C. 264 of 2007
pending before the said court within a time frame to be
fixed by this court and also to direct the said court to
dispense with the personal appearance of the petitioner
on all subsequent postings.
2. Petitioner is the accused in C.C. 264 of
2007 of JFCM-II, Thiruvananthapuram. He is alleged to
have committed offence punishable under Section 379
read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
3. Petitioner says that he had got an
employment abroad and he is unable to leave the place
because of the pendency of the case. Therefore, he
Crl.M.C. 492/2010. 2
prays that necessary direction may be issued to the court
below to dispose of the case at the earliest.
4. As of now petitioner only seeks a direction for
an early disposal. The prayer seems to be just and
reasonable and there is no reason why it should be denied.
Therefore, this petition is allowed and there will be
a direction to JFCM-III, Thiruvananthapuram to try and
dispose of C.C.264 of 2007 within a period of four months
from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and the said
court shall consider and pass orders on the application, if
any, filed by the petitioner for dispensation of his personal
appearance on subsequent posting dates of the case.
