THIS CRIMINAL PETITION COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:
O R D E R At the time of submitting arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner fairly submitted that the evidence has already been commenced before the trial Court and PWs.1 to 4 have already been examined. Under the peculiar circumstances, if this Court considers the evidence on record, it virtually amounts to appreciation of evidence which is the exclusive domain of the trial Court. Therefore, under the above said circumstances, I do not find any strong reason to interfere at this stage. On the other hand, it is stated that the petitioner has been in custody since long time. Therefore, the trial Court has to make all its endeavour to dispose of the main matter as expeditiously as possible and within a span of six months from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
With the above observations, the petition stands dismissed.
