The learned counsel states that the Court is presently lying vacant since December, 2007. It has been stated that accused is continuously in custody for last six years from 4-9-2002.

3. The age of the accused is about 63 years and he is stated to be unwell.
4. ' Mr. Naimatullah Bhurgri, learned State Counsel states that the delay in disposal of the trial is inordinate specially when this case has been assigned to ATA Court which under the Act is supposed to dispose of the cases within seven days.
