This application has been filed for quashing the entire criminal
proceeding against the petitioner in connection with C.O. Case No.
14 of 1993.
It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that
though the cognizance of the offence against the petitioner was taken
under Section 408 of the I.P.C. on 24.04.1993, but still the charge
has not been framed and the case is running under the heading for
evidence before charge. It is submitted that as per Article 21 of the
Constitution of India petitioner has fundamental right for speedy
trial, but the trial court is not disposing of the trial even though
prosecutor is not producing the evidence before charge.
Having heard the submission, I disposed of this Criminal
Miscellaneous Petition with direction to the court below to dispose of
the C.O. Case No. 14 of 1993 within six months from the date of
receipt of this order.
