2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that without going into the merits of the case, it would suffice, if this Court permits the petitioners to raise all the grounds including the grounds under Section 188 of Cr.P.C. before the Trial Court and issues direction to the Trial Court to expedite the trial and complete the same as early as possible. He would further submit that the appearance of the petitioners before the Trial Court may be dispensed with and would further submit that the petitioners are ready to appear as and when necessary arise.

In view of the above, this Court permits the petitioners to raise all the grounds including the grounds under Section 188 of Cr.P.C. before the learned X Metropolitan Magistrate, Egmore, Chennai during trial in C.C.No.1094 of 2015 and directs the learned X Metropolitan Magistrate, Egmore, Chennai, to expedite the trial in C.C.No.1094 of 2015 and complete the same as early as possible.
