This Court, vide order dated 21.01.2026 passed in MCRC No. 8634 of 2025, while allowing the bail of the petitioner, namely, Deepak 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 four months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of that order, if there was no legal impediment. 3. The learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Raipur District-Raipur KUNAL DEWANGAN Digitally signed by KUNAL DEWANGAN 2 vide his request letter dated 14.07.2026 has requested for grant of 06 months time for concluding the trial. 4. It transpires from perusal of the P.U.D. that, despite continuous issuance of summons and warrants for securing the presence of the prosecution witnesses, the summons/warrants have been received unserved and the presence of the witnesses could not be ensured. Consequently, the prosecution evidence could not be completed within the stipulated period. In the aforesaid circumstances, the learned trial Court has submitted that additional time is required for recording the statements of the remaining prosecution witnesses and thereafter for conducting the examination of the accused, recording defence evidence, hearing final arguments and pronouncing judgment. Accordingly, he sought an extension of time and has prayed for grant of a further period of six months for concluding the trial and final disposal of the case. 5. 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. 6. Accordingly, this CRMP stands disposed off with the aforesaid direction. 7. 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
