A perusal of the said communication reveals that the trial in the subject case has proceeded expeditiously and all the witnesses in the case have been examined. However, it is stated that a connected case between the same parties arising out of the same incident, bearing FIR No. 444/2013 is also pending before the concerned District & Sessions Judge (East), Karkardooma Courts, Delhi, the trial of which is ongoing expeditiously.
