District Judge No.3, District Meerut within a time bound period as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper.
Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the applicant is the complainant of the case and case being Session Trial No.122 of 2014 (State Vs. Santosh) is pending before the trial court. It is argued that the trial is lingering on just because of non cooperation of the accused persons and, as such, appropriate direction be issued for disposal of trial in time bound manner.
Per contra, learned State counsel opposed the prayer made in the present matter by arguing that no such specific reasons have been made out for giving any direction for expediting the trial of the case and as such the application be dismissed.

State of U.P.).
It is made clear that this Court has not passed any direction for expediting the trial.
The present application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. stands disposed of.
