The learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Durg District-Durg (C.G.) vide his request letter dated 12.02.2025 has requested for grant of KUNAL DEWANGAN Digitally signed by KUNAL DEWANGAN 2 further two months time for concluding the trial. 4. It transpires from perusal of the PUD that in this case, while framing charges against the accused, statements of 12 witnesses have been recorded to date. Considering the likelihood of the defence presenting evidence, it is unlikely that the case can be concluded within the stipulated time. Hence the conclusion of the trial is likely to take some more time therefore, she prays for grant of two months time for concluding the same. 5. The request appears to be reasonable. The concerned trial Court is directed to conclude the trial as early as possible, preferably within a further period of two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order, if there is no legal impediment. 6. Accordingly, this CRMP stands disposed off with the aforesaid direction. 7.
