Learned State counsel opposes the submission made by learned counsel for the petitioner. 4. I have heard learned Counsel appearing for the parties and perused the documents annexed with the petition including the order sheets of the Trial Court. 5.

It is not meant to manage the trial process and specific timelines for disposal. Therefore, I am not inclined to direct the trial Court to expedite and conclude the trial in a time bound manner. 6. Accordingly, the instant petition is hereby dismissed at motion stage itself. Sd/- (Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal) Judge Sourabh P.
