(2.) The relief craved for vis- -vis Sessions Case No.61/2011, earlier pending before Addl. District and Sessions Judge, Sujangarh, District Churu, is abandoned by the petitioner after its decision and desired relief is confined to remaining five cases pending against the respondent before subordinate Courts at five districts.

(3.) In order to substantiate and authenticate its case for seeking indulgence of the Court, the petitioner State has projected special and extraordinary circumstances which the security agencies are encountering in transit and safety of respondent - hardened criminal to ensure his presence during trial in all these pending cases before various subordinate Courts. A fact significant to show genuine concern of the State for safety and security of general public in transit when respondent is taken from one place to another to attend Court proceedings is also highlighted. State has also vouched to assert with full emphasis that besides security concerns taking respondent from one place to another on the appointed date of hearing in respective criminal case is heavily costing exchequer not only in pecuniary terms but deployment of the State resources.
