This Criminal Original Petition has been filed to quash the private complaint in C.C.No.505 of 2005 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate No.II, Karur, dated 26.12.2005.

2.Though the learned counsel for the petitioner raised several grounds for quashing the proceedings in C.C.No.505 of 2005 , he submitted that it would suffice, if a direction is issued to the trial Court to complete the trial within a time limit that may be stipulated by this Court and also to permit the petitioner to raise all the grounds raised in this petition before the trial Court. However, he requested the appearance of the petitioner may be dispensed with before the Trial Court.

3.I have heard the learned Government Advocate (Criminal side) appearing for the respondent, who has also conceded the request of the learned counsel for the petitioner. 4.In the light of the above said submissions of the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, this Court, without going into the merits of the case, directs the learned Judicial Magistrate No.II, Karur, to complete the trial in C.C.No.505 of 2005 within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Meanwhile, the appearance of the petitioner is dispensed with unless the learned Judicial Magistrate feels that their presence is required for the disposal of the case. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
