Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, the social background of the parties, the fact that they are not involved in the offences in recent times and some of the accused being the first time offenders, I am of the view that one opportunity can be given to these accused and also in view of efflux of time, no meaningful trial is possible. 4.
