2. Mr.D.Rajaboopathy, learned Government Advocate, (Crl. Side) takes notice for the respondents. Heard the counsel on either side and perused the records.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that it would suffice if a direction is issued to the respondents to dispose of the petitioner's representation within a time frame.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) submitted that the petitioner is involved in some previous cases.
5. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the cases pending against the petitioner are falsely foisted against him.
