4. Having regard to the fact that the petitioners summoned all the witnesses and only few witnesses have to be examined, the trial is unnecessarily dragged on and hence, this Court is of the view that specific direction to the Trial Court for expedite the trial is necessary in this case. Hence, this Court directs the learned Judicial Magistrate, Eranial, Kanyakumari District, to complete the trial and dispose of STC.No.1761 of 2006, within a period of four months from the date of receipt of the copy of this order.

5. With the above direction, this Criminal Original Petition is disposed of.
