Report sent by the learned trial Court has been perused. Report indicates, that on a number of dates of hearing, the accused was not produced from the jail. On another date of hearing, the Presiding Officer was on medical leave. Report further reveals, that the case was fixed for 4th of April, 1989.
2. The learned counsel informs that the case has now been fixed for hearing in June, 1989. More than one year has elapsed, and no progress towards the trial has yet taken place. In this view of the matter, I direct the trial Court to take up this case on day to day basis, rather than adjourning it.
The learned trial Court is i, further directed to conclude the trial of this case within a period of three weeks. The learned trial Court shall also submit progress report about the conclusion of this trial to this Court. With these observations, this petition stands dismissed.
