The whole grievance of the petitioner is that though the complaint was registered in January, 2005 and till date even after a lapse of 14 years, the case has not been completed because of the dilatory tactics of respondent No.2, due to which the petitioner is not only undergoing mental torture, but also losing his career opportunities and hence sought for quashment of the proceedings in C.C.No.49 of 2014. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for respondent No.1 - State. Perused the material on record.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that on earlier occasions also, though this Court twice directed the trial Court to dispose of the C.C.No.49 of 2014 within a time frame, the same could not be concluded due to the noncooperation of respondent No.2. A perusal of the record reveals that on earlier occasions also, though this Court directed the trial Court to dispose of
