4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the Charges were framed on 18.04.2022. There are 28 prosecution witnesses in all who have to be examined, out of which, no evidence of any of the witnesses has been completed recorded, while the two witnesses have been partly crossexamined and one material witness i.e., PW1/Sangeeta has been examined. 5.

Though the petitioner is in custody from 18.02.2021 and to get the trial concluded expeditiously is quite understandable, but at the same time, there is no ground shown from where it can be inferred that the trial under is not being conducted as per law or the trial is being prolonged without there being any reason.

6.

The trial is being conducted in accordance with law and the same is being done as expeditiously as possible.

7.

The Trial Court is conscious that the cases under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 needs to be disposed of expeditiously since the accused remains in judicial custody and there is no direction required to be passed in the present petition.

8.

With the aforesaid observations, the present petition is disposed of.
