4.Since summons have already been issued to the witnesses, it is the responsibility of the police officers to produce the witnesses before the trial Court. In this case, it appears that the L.W.1 itself is not examined so far. Therefore, the respondent police and trial Court shall take necessary steps to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible.

5. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is disposed of. NCC : Yes/No 29.07.2024 Internet:Yes/No Index:Yes/No jbr To
