Though the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners raised several grounds for quashing the proceedings in C.C.No.85 of 2013, 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 petitioners to raise all the grounds raised in this petition before the trial Court.
