It was further observed that in the present case neither the State nor the employer has filed the application for expedited trial.

The Court referred to the Judgment of Janta Dal vs H.S Chowdhary (1993) 1 SCC 756, where it was held that it is for the parties to the criminal proceeding to challenge the proceedings at appropriate forum and not for the third party under the garb of PIL.
