The learned counsel for the applicant, at the outset, submits that since all the public witnesses have been examined and only 10 formal witnesses are remaining to be examined, he is hopeful that recording of the evidence would conclude within a period of 6 to 10 months.

2.

He seeks liberty to withdraw the present application and take all arguments before the learned Trial Court and file an application afresh if the trial is unduly delayed. 3.

In view of the above, the present application is dismissed as withdrawn.

4.

Section 35(2) of the POCSO Act mandates trial for offence under POCSO Act to be concluded in a time bound manner. The learned Trial Court is, therefore, expected to conclude the recording of the evidence expeditiously.
