of the said case has been causing much hardship and suffering for
him.
3. A report was called for from the learned Assistant Sessions

going through the records of the said case, forwarded a letter
dated 29.04.2024 stating that a period of six months time is
required for the disposal of the said case.
4. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the
learned Public Prosecutor representing the respondent.

the expeditious disposal of the case and also the inputs submitted
by the vacation Judge with regard to the stage of S.C.No.820/2016
on the files of the Assistant Sessions Court, Palakkad, I deem it
