HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANOOP CHITKARA

Present:

Mr. R.S. Cheema, Sr. Advocate with Mr. A.S. Cheema, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, Addl. AG, Punjab.

**** ANOOP CHITKARA, J.

The limited prayer for which the petitioner has come up before this Court is for clubbing of all the challans for one joint trial in case FIR No.10 dated 17.08.2017 registered under Sections 406, 409, 420, 467, 468, 471, 477A, 120B IPC (Section 200 IPC added later on), Section 13(1)(d) read with 13(2) of Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 at Police Station Vigilance Bureau, District Mohali.

2.

Counsel for the petitioner submits that prosecution filed separate challan against different accused before the trial Court. Now the trial Court trying them separately, however, all relates to same FIR. 3.

Counsel for the State submits that due to pendency of this petition, the trial has derailed and they would have no objection if all the challans in the FIR are clubbed. 4.

In view of the submission of counsel for the State, petition stands allowed. The trial Court is directed to club all the challans for one joint trial in the above captioned FIR. All pending applications, if any, stand disposed. 5.

Keeping in view the pendency of the case, since long before the trial Court, concerned Court to expedite the trial.
