In the aforesaid circumstances, I would see no ground to entertain this petition any further, which is consequently dismissed, but with the trial court directed to ensure that the trial is now concluded at the earliest and with the SSP, Chandigarh, to continue to ensure that the witnesses as still remained to be examined, continue to appear before the trial court as and when summoned. The interim order passed in favour of the petitioner is hereby vacated. He will surrender before the trial court/jail authorities within one week from today.

If there is still a delay in concluding the trial, the petitioner would be at liberty to file a similar petition, which would be considered wholly on its own merits.
