Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer. 5. I have considered the submissions and perused the record. It reveals from the perusal of the order sheets that the present case is pending at the stage of adducing the evidence of prosecution witnesses. It is reminded that the criminal courts are never toothless or powerless to ensure compliance of its own orders by the concerned police and administrative authorities. They have got ample powers for the same in the law itself. The trial court is expected to invoke its power to ensure service of process upon the accused persons, which is sent under its seal and order in order to procure the presence of the accused. 6. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the learned trial court is directed to take effective steps for procuring the appearance of prosecution witnesses to record their evidence within a period of two months from today and to make all the endeavours to decide Criminal Case No. 1325 of 2012 (State Vs.
