3. In the circumstances, the Trial Court is directed to consider the application filed by the petitioners on 28.05.2008 under Section 245 of Cr.P.C if the same is not yet considered as expeditiously as possible and in any event not later than six weeks for the date of receipt of copy of this order.

Accordingly, the petition is hereby disposed of.
