O R D E R

The petitioner is the defacto complainant. The limited prayer sought for in the present petition is to expedite the committal proceedings in P.R.C.No.27 of 2012 in Crime No.200 of 2010, on the ground that the proceedings are pending for almost 9 years.

2.Today, when the matter is taken up for consideration, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, on instructions, submits that the case has been split up in the following manner as:- "In PRC.No.3 of 2012 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate No.1, Cheyyar A2, A4, A8, A10, A11, A12, A13, A14 and A18, in which, A2, A4, A8 and A18 is died and other Accused are absconding. and In PRC.No.27 of 2012, before the Sessions Judge, Tiruvannamalai, A1, A3, A5, A6, A7, A9, A15, A16, A17, A19, A20, A21 and A22, in which, all Accused are absconding."

3.In view of the limited prayer sought for and taking into consideration, the long pendency of the proceedings, the learned Judicial Magistrate shall endeavour to complete the committal proceedings as expeditiously as possible, in any event, within a period of 4 months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner is also at liberty to seek for further split up of the proceedings.

4.It is also to be noticed that the pendency of the proceedings for over the period of 9 years is owing to nonexecution of the Non Bailable Warrants issued in both these proceedings on most of the accused.

5.It is also brought to the notice that though the warrants are pending for a considerable time, effective steps have not been taken by the police to execute these warrants. 6.In these circumstances, the Superintendent of Police, Kancheepuram District, shall give appropriate orders to the concerned Jurisdictional Police, who have executed the Non Bailable Warrants, which are pending in P.R.C.No.3 of 2012 and P.R.C.No.27 of 2012.

7.With these above observations, this Criminal Original Petition stands disposed of.
