This Court, vide order dated 07.08.2025 passed in MCRC No. 5200 of 2025, while allowing the bail of the petitioner, namely, Intijar Choudhary had expressed its trust that the trial Court would make an earnest endeavor to conclude the trial expeditiously in accordance with law, preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of that order, if there was no legal impediment. 3. Earlier on one occasion also this Court had granted extension of KUNAL DEWANGAN Digitally signed by KUNAL DEWANGAN 2 time for compliance of the order dated 07.08.2025. 4. The learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Ambikapur District- Surguja (C.G.) vide his request letter dated 06.07.2026 has requested for grant of six month’s additional time for concluding the trial. 5. It transpires from perusal of the P.U.D. that the evidence of the complainant, the Investigating Officer and the Panchnama witnesses are yet to be recorded. Thereafter, the statement of the accused is required to be recorded, followed by final hearing of the case. Owing to the pendency of these essential stages of the trial, the matter could not be concluded within the stipulated period. Accordingly, the learned trial Court has sought extension of time and has prayed for grant of a further period of six months for recording the remaining evidence, completing the subsequent stages of the trial and concluding the trial and final disposal of the case. 6. The request made by the learned trial Court, is allowed, however, instead of granting six months, this Court deems it appropriate to grant further 04 months time for concluding the trial from today. 7. Accordingly, this CRMP stands disposed off with the aforesaid direction. 8. Registry is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance. Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) Chief Justice Kunal
