ORAL ORDER
Heard Sri Shravan Madhav K.P., learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, Sri B.S. Prasad, learned counsel for respondent No.1 and Sri S. Victor Manoharan, learned counsel for respondent No.2.
2. Learned counsel appearing for the respondent-State would submit that already PW.4 has been examined and this petition is filed before this Court only with an intention to protract the proceedings.
3. Having heard the respective counsel, it is very clear that when the trial has commenced and evidence has already been adduced before the Court, the Trial Court has to consider whether there are materials or not. The defence cannot be considered in a petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. and the scope of Section 482 of Cr.P.C. is very limited. The same can be exercised only in respect of any misuse or abuse of the process of law. When the complaint is filed, the matter is investigated, the charge sheet is filed and the petitioner is
HC-KAR
facing trial before the Court, and after the examination of four witnesses, the question of entertaining the petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. does not arise. Hence, I do not find any grounds to interfere with the proceedings of the Trial Court. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed.
4. The learned Trial Judge is directed to dispose of the matter within a period of three months and both the respective counsel shall assist the Trial Court in disposal of the matter within the said time bound period.
