2. Apart from referring to the merits of the case, the petitioner has not given any exceptional reason, as to why a direction to the learned Magistrate to complete the trial within the time frame should be given. The Honourable Supreme Court in the case of High Court Bar Association, Allahabad v. State of U.P. and Others [(2024) 2 SCR 946] has deprecated the practice of directing the trial Court to dispose of the case within the time frame. Hence this Court is not inclined to entertain this petition. If there is any undue delay in trial, the petitioner is at liberty to approach this Court later. 3.With the above observations and liberty, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed.
