No.578/2019 by the Principal Civil Judge and JMFC., Chamarajanagar and also direct the trial court to dispose of the above said case within the reasonable time in the interest of justice." 2.

For the order proposed, notice to respondent No.1 is dispensed with. - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:6895 CRL.P NO.2010 OF 2025 4. The limited grievance of the petitioner in the present petition is that, despite issuance of Non Bailable Warrant by the Trial Court in the private complaint filed by the petitioner against the respondent No.1-accused, the respondent No.2 has so far not executed the Non Bailable Warrant and delay in disposal of the proceedings is resulting in irreparable injury and hardship to the petitioner, who is before this Court by way of present petition. 5. A perusal of the material on record will indicate that, repeatedly the Trial Court had issued Non Bailable Warrant as against the respondent No.1-accused and has issued specific directions to the respondent No.2 on several occasions, the latest being order dated 31.12.2024 by adjourning the matter to 07.04.2025. 6. Under these circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this petition directing the respondent No.2- Superintendent of Police, Chamarajanagar District to execute the Non Bailable Warrant issued by the Trial Court as against the respondent No.1 and ensure that the respondent No.1-accused shall remianpresent before the Trial Court on 07.04.2025 without fail. - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:6895 CRL.P NO.2010 OF 2025 7. It is also directed that the Trial Court shall dispose of the proceedings within a period of six months from the date of appearance of the respondent No.1-accused before the Trial Court. 8. Accordingly, Criminal Petition is disposed of. SD/- (S.R. KRISHNA KUMAR) JUDGE ARK List No.: 1 Sl No.: 43
