This criminal miscellaneous petition is filed seeking following relief :- “It is therefore prayed that this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to allow the present petition and modify / delete the direction contained in paragraph 8 of the order dated 25.04.2026 passed in M.Cr.C. No. 2293 of 2026 to the extent that the fixed outer limit of "preferably within a period of six months" is removed, while retaining the observation that the Trial Court shall BALRAM PRASAD DEWANGAN Digitally signed by BALRAM PRASAD DEWANGAN 2 make an earnest endeavour to conclude the trial as expeditiously as Possible in accordance with law; &/Or pass any other order or orders as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the present case.” 2. Learned counsel for applicant submits that High Court while allowing the bail application could not have fixed the time for conclusion of trial. In support of his contention, he placed reliance upon the decision of Hon’ble Supreme Court in Allahabad High Court Bar Assn. v. State of U.P., (2024) 6 SCC 267 and in case of Sangram Sadashiv Suryavanshi Vs. The State of Maharashtra, in Cr.A. No. 4758 of 2024, decided on 25.11.2024. 3. Learned State counsel opposes the submission of learned counsel for applicant and would submit that direction is for early disposal of criminal case pending against petitioner, therefore, petitioner could not be aggrieved person as no adverse observation has been made against him. 4. I have heard learned counsel for parties and perused the documents placed on record. 5. While allowing the bail application in favour of petitioner, the Court has made following observation : “However, this Court hopes and trust that the trial Court shall make an earnest endeavour to conclude the trial in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of six months from today, if there is no legal impediment.” 3 6. In the observation the Court has observed that trial Court shall make an earnest endeavour to conclude the trial in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of six months from today, if there is no legal impediment. 7. The decisions which are relied upon by learned counsel for petitioner of Hon’ble Supreme Court deals with the issue relating to the difficulties to be faced by trial Court pursuant to the order of High Court for deciding the case in time bound manner. 8. In the aforementioned facts of the case I do not find any merit in this petition. Accordingly, this petition is liable to be and it is hereby dismissed. Sd/- (Parth Prateem Sahu) Judge Balram
