JUDGMENT
Having regard to the submissions made by the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Pala by his letter dated 16/4/2021, I am of the view that it is fit and proper to grant six months' time as requested by the learned Magistrate for the disposal of the matter. It is not at all necessary to issue notice to the respondents since it is an application for expeditious disposal of the complaint. Hence, both the original petitions are allowed accordingly.
