In these circumstances, indulgence of this Court is required in the matter. The prayer is to expedite the proceedings of pending case. Learned State counsel submits that he has no objection in case an expedite order is passed. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that no fruitful purpose will be served in keeping this petition pending.
