          By Court  ­       Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

 2. The   learned   counsel   for   the   petitioner   submitted   that   a 

proceeding under Section 144 Cr.P.C was initiated as back as on 5 th 

May,   1991   because   of   the   dispute   between   the   two   Unions   and 

petitioner is the owner of the quarters being Quarter Nos. 247, 248, 

249 and 250 of Sector­III, Bokaro Steel City, for which there was 

dispute   between   the   two   Unions.   The   said   proceeding   was 

converted into a proceeding under Section 145 Cr.P.C.  The property 

was   attached   under   Section   146(1)   Cr.P.C   and   receiver   was 

appointed . Then Subdivisional Magistrate passed the final order on 

28th  August,   1997.   The   order   dated   28th  August,   1997   was 

challenged by preferring revision petition being Criminal Revision 

No. 62 of 1997, which was now transferred and pending before the 

Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track,II, Bokaro .

3. The grievance of the petitioner is only that since the matter is 

pending in the court and property is attached since long for more 

than   two   decades   and   the   property   has   gone   in   dilapidated 

condition and, therefore, prayer is that the revisional court may be 
2.

directed to decide the revision petition in a given time.

4. Since the prayer is limited as well as genuine one, therefore, 

the learned Sessions Judge, Bokaro is directed to himself decide the 

aforesaid Criminal Revision No. 62 of 1997, within a period of three 

months   from   the   date   of   receipt   of   a   copy   of   this   order,   after 

hearing the parties.

5. The   writ   petition   stands   disposed   of,   in   the   light   of   the 

aforesaid order.

5. Let a copy of this order be sent to the Sessions Jduge, Bokaro 

forthwith.
