Through this petition, the petitioner seeks a direction for the time-bound disposal of the application, without challenging any specific order. 3. I have heard learned Counsel appearing for the Petitioner and perused the documents annexed with the petition including the order sheets of the Trial Court. 4. Section 528 is engrafted to allow the High Court to intervene in cases where there is a clear abuse of process or where it is necessary to prevent injustice. It is not meant to manage the trial process and specific timelines for disposal. Therefore, I am not inclined to direct the trial Court to conclude the trial in a time bound manner. 5. Accordingly, the instant petition is hereby dismissed at motion stage itself. Sd/- (Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal) Judge Sourabh P.
