2. The grievance of the petitioner is that eventhough the case is of the year 2019, the case is still pending without any progress. At one stage of the proceedings, P.W.1 was not cross examined. So further evidence was closed on the side of the prosecution and the accused was questioned under Section 313 of Cr.P.C., proceedings. He has filed a petition to reopen P.W.1 for cross examination and the same was allowed on 19.06.2023. Thereafter, it kept pending without any progress.
