The petitioner has been facing trial for offence under Sections 147 and 447, Indian Penal Code in the Court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate No. 1, Fatehpur from 1997 i.e. for last about 8 years. 2. It appears that prosecution evidence was complete on 17.1.2002 and the case was posted to 5.2.2002 for examination of the accused (including the petitioner) under Section 313, Criminal Procedure Code The petitioner could not appear before the Trial Court on 5.2.2002, and therefore, the Trial Court forfeited his bail bonds and issued arrest warrant. It appears that trial against co-accused persons was concluded and they have already been acquitted of the charges by the Trial Court vide its judgment and order dated 12.9.2002. 3. After forfeiture of his bail bonds, the petitioner appeared before the Trial Court and moved an application under Section 70(2), Criminal Procedure Code for conversion of arrest warrant into bailable warrant, but the application dismissed. The Revisional Court vide its order of 1.11.2004 directed the petitioner to appear before the Trial Court within 15.days and also directed the Trial Court to expedite trial of the case. 4. Learned Counsel submitted that despite directions to expedite trial of the case, the Trial Court is not proceeding expeditiously and long dates are given. According to the learned Counsel, petitioner is the only bread earner in the family, serving abroad and his visa is going to expire soon. If he fails to join duty, he will become unemployed and his family would be put to starvation. In these circumstances, the petitioner moved an application before the Trial Court with a prayer to conclude the trial expeditiously. The Trial Court vide its order impugned in this petition has dismissed the said application. Hence the present petition. 5. I have considered the above submissions. Undisputedly, the case is pending trial since 1997 in the Court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Fatehpur and the co-accused have already been acquitted of the charge in 2002. It appears that case is pending for examination of the accused petitioner and is being unnecessarily prolonged for no good reason. 6. In view of above, this petition is disposed of with the direction to the Trial Court to conclude the trial expeditiously by fixing the case on day to day basis.Petition disposed of. *******
