The application for quashing the orders was disposed of, with a direction to the trial court to expedite the trial.
Summary
Sheo Baitha filed an application seeking to quash the order dated 07-06-2016 passed by the ACJM‑cum‑Sub Judge and the subsequent order dated 11-09-2017 passed by the Sessions Judge in a case arising under sections 386, 392, 506 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner argued that the orders should be set aside and the trial expedited. The State raised no objection to the petitioner's request for expediting the trial. The Court, after hearing counsel, did not entertain the prayer to quash the orders but instead directed the trial court to speed up the proceedings. Consequently, the application was disposed of with a direction to the trial court to expedite the trial.
