DATED : 7th DECEMBER 2018.

P.C. :

1.

This is an application for early hearing moved by the respondent/accused. The appeal is challenging the acquittal of the respondent/accused. The same is filed by Union of India. 2.

The ground which is raised for seeking early hearing is old age of the applicant/acquitted accused. No expeditious hearing can be granted in such matter wherein the accused who are behind bars for more than nine years are awaiting final hearing of their appeals.

3.

The application, is therefore, rejected.
