3. It appears that the case has been pending against the petitioner in S.C.No.3 of 2015. The petitioner's complaint is pending in P.R.C.No.43 of 2014 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Uthamapalayam. It is also submitted that both the cases are case in counter. Therefore, the learned counsel submitted that it would be appropriate to have joint trial in the interest of justice.
4. The case is pending in P.R.C.No.43 of 2014 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Uthamapalayam. Therefore, at this stage, this Court is not inclined to order for joint trial. It would be suffice to direct the Judicial Magistrate, Uthamapalayam to complete the committal in P.R.C.No.43 of 2014 within a period of two months and after the same is done, it is open for the petitioner to file a fresh petition seeking permission to conduct joint trial.
