4.Considering the nature of the allegations in this case that the petitioner along with other accused said to have entered the house of the de-facto complainant during night and attacked her and snatched her thaali chain and went away and the said thaali chain having been recovered from the petitioner and the trial in this case is an advanced stage and already 10 witnesses were examined and only three more witnesses remain to be examined and since the trial itself can be completed within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of the order, considering the
