ORAL ORDER
The petitioners are before the Court seeking the following prayers: "(a) direct the learned XXIX Addl Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bangalore to dispose the criminal case C.C. 53864/2019 in a time bound manner in next 3 months.
(b) Grant such other relief/s as this Hon'ble Court deems fit to grant under the facts and circumstances of the case, in the interest of justice and equity."
2. The petitioners are accused Nos.1 to 5 alleged of offence punishable under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, inter alia. The petition is not projected on the
HC-KAR
merits, but a perusal at the order sheet would indicate adjournments being granted ad nauseam by the concerned Court without any rhyme or reason.
3. In the light of the issue is of the year 2019, I deem it appropriate to infuse finality into the proceedings with a direction to the concerned Court to dispose the proceedings, within an outer limit of four months from the date of receipt of the copy of the order, if not earlier.
4. With the aforesaid observations, the petition stands disposed.
Ordered accordingly.
