CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27.03.2025, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
ORDER
Although learned counsel on both sides advanced arguments on merits, considering that the Calendar Case is of the year 2015, rather than deciding whether to invoke the power under Section 482 of Cr.P.C, it should be left for the trial court to dispose of the matter at the earliest. Learned counsel on both sides assure that they will cooperate with the court. The Crl.M.C is hence disposed of by directing the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Irinjalakuda, to take earnest efforts to conduct trial and dispose of C.C.No.3057 of 2015 within one month of receipt of a copy of this order. As it is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that their identity is not disputed, they can be exempted from personal appearance during trial, if an application for that purpose is submitted.
