By this petition the petitioner is praying for expedited hearing of the Sessions Case No. 939 of 2016 pending before the Sessions Judge, Pune.

It is contention of learned counsel for the petitioner that the Sessions case was filed in the year 2016 under Sections 307, 354-B, 342, 323, 504 and 506 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short "IPC") registered with Bharti Vidyapeeth Police Station. The father of the original complainant appeared before the learned Sessions Judge and submitted an affidavit stating that they do not want to pursue this further because his daughter got married a long time ago and is well settled with her family in
