complainant. Challenging the same, the present petition has been filed
before this Court.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submit that the dispute
between the parties are purely civil in nature and without going into the
merits of the case, it would be suffice, if this Court issues a direction to the
Trial Court to expedite the trial and complete the same as early as possible.
He would further submit that the appearance of the petitioners before the
Trial Court may be dispensed with and would further submit that the
petitioners are ready to appear as and when necessary arises.
4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) would submit that the
dispute is purely civil in nature and the question has to be decided only by
the competent Court and the prima facie case is made out and admittedly
A7/Dhanammal had sold the property through her power agent, the defacto
complainant purchased the property from the power agent of
A7/Dhanammal. Subsequently, A7/Dhanammal executed a release deed in
favour of the 1st petitioner.

5. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the second respondent.
6.In view of the above, I am not inclined to interfere with the
proceedings in C.C.No.156 of 2017 pending before the Judicial Magistrate
No.II, Chengalpattu, Kancheepuram District and the Court below to
expedite the trial in C.C.No.156 of 2017 and complete the same within a
period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The
appearance of the petitioners before the Trial Court is dispensed with.
However, this order will not stand on the way of the Trial Court to insist for
the appearance of the petitioners for receiving copies under Section 207 of
Cr.P.C., framing of charges, questioning under Section 313 of Cr.P.C. and
judgment and as and when the Trial Court feels it necessary.
7. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed.
