however, with the direction to the trial court to expedite the trial so as to conclude it
preferably within six months, failing to which liberty was given to the petitioner to
renew his prayer before this Court. Pursuant to such liberty, the petitioner has renewed
his prayer, as there was no development since then with regard to examination of the
prosecution witnesses and in that manner, he has been denied speedy justice.

article much less any fire arm or ammunitions was recovered from the possession of
