ORAL ORDER
The petitioner is before this Court seeking following prayer: "Wherefore, the petitioner respectfully prays that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to: a) Issue a writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ directing the Trial Court to expedite the proceedings in the criminal case No.13018/2020 pending before the CMM Court, Bengaluru. Produced here with Annexure-D; b) Issue appropriate direction to separate the trial of available accused (A1 & A2) and proceed against them in accordance with law;
c) Pass such other and further orders as may be deemed fit and proper in the interest of justice and equity."
2. The counsel for the petitioner would now restrict the submission for expeditious disposal of a proceeding that is pending since 2018.
3. In the light of the proceeding pending since 2018 and the matter being dragged without any rhyme or reason, I deem it appropriate to direct the concerned Court to conclude the
HC-KAR
proceedings within an outer limit of 6 months from the date of receipt of copy of this order, if not earlier.
4. With the aforesaid observation, the petition stands disposed of.
Ordered accordingly.
