It is submitted by the learned counsel that as there are many cases registered against the petitioner, he is in judicial custody and therefore, the trial Court may be directed to conclude the trial within a specific period. 6. Merely because there are other cases registered against the petitioner that itself is not a ground to grant the relief sought. Such directions will adversely affect the functioning of the trial Court and may be difficult to implement. Hence, this Court is not inclined to direct the trial Court to conclude the trial in a time bound manner. However, considering that the charge sheet is already filed, the learned Magistrate is directed to expedite the trial. Petition is disposed of.
