Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the charge- sheet has been filed on 01.10.2025 still charges have not been framed against the accused. Whereas, expeditious trial is the KISHORE KUMAR DESHMUKH Digitally signed by KISHORE KUMAR DESHMUKH Date: 2026.08.20 16:07:33 +0530 right of the complainant also. Thus, he would pray for a direction to the learned Principal Magistrate Juvenile Justice Board for expeditious trial. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State does not oppose the submission. 4. In view of the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, and considering that it is in the interest of justice that the trial be concluded expeditiously, which is also in conformity with the basic principles of criminal jurisprudence, an early disposal of the case would inspire confidence in the litigants. 5. Keeping in view the aforesaid aspect of the matter, it is directed that the learned Principal Magistrate, Juvenile Justice Board, Durg, shall make all earnest efforts to conclude the trial expeditiously. 6. With these observations and directions, the Cr.M.P. is finally disposed off. Sd/- (Narendra Kumar Vyas) Judge kishore
