This Court, vide order dated 04.07.2025 passed in MCRC No. 3045 of 2025, while allowing the bail of the petitioner, namely, Anurag Alias Cheenu 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 that order, if there was no legal impediment. 3. Earlier on two occasions also this Court had granted extension of time for compliance of the order dated 04.07.2025. 4. The learned District and Additional Sessions Judge, Kharsia, District- KUNAL DEWANGAN Digitally signed by KUNAL DEWANGAN 2 Raigarh (C.G.) vide his request letter dated 11.08.2026 has requested for grant of two month’s additional time for concluding the trial. 5. It transpires from perusal of the P.U.D. that the case was taken up for day-to-day hearing on several occasions, during which eight prosecution witnesses were examined. However, the remaining witnesses could not be secured despite issuance of bailable warrants through the Superintendent of Police, Raigarh. The record further reveals that the Investigating Officer and the accused persons remained absent on certain dates and repeated adjournments were sought by the defence due to the non-availability of the learned Senior Advocate. Owing to the non-appearance of the accused persons and remaining witnesses, coupled with the circumstances affecting the progress of the defence, the trial 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 two months for concluding the trial and final disposal of the case. 6. The request appears to be reasonable. The concerned trial Court is directed to conclude the trial as early as possible, preferably within a further period of two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. 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
