After some argument, the learned counsel for the petitioners seeks to withdraw the present petition, however, seeks a direction upon the learned court below to complete the trial within a stipulated time frame.

A bare perusal of the records of the case would show that this Court by an earlier order dated 01.08.2013, had directed the trial court to expedite the trial and conclude the same within a period of four months, however, despite lapse of about six years, no steps have been taken by the learned trial court to dispose off the pending trial.
