Keeping in view the peculiar facts of the case wherein the matter was instituted by lodging a non-cognizable report in the year 2022 and the trial is yet to commence, while we are presently in the year 2025, issuance of notice to the opposite party no.2 will cause further delay in finalization of proceedings and would defeat the ends of justice, the issuance of notice to the opposite party no.2 is dispensed with and the application is being decided finally after hearing submissions of learned counsel for the applicants and the learned A.G.A. 3.
