i fully agree with Sh. Assumi and "your advocate". in the above posts, arup's advises are immature and exhibit his lack of practical knowledge.
you doubted about the integrity of the trial court judge. generally, if there is connivance between the judge and accused party, what the judge will do? He pushes the case very, very fast and take evidence of the prosecution in the earliest possible time and while giving dictation of evidence, he takes special attention and dictate himself the deposition with modifications, which will be favourable to the defence (generally, the examination and cross examination will be taken care of by A.P.P. and defence counsel even though the judge is present in the court, but he will be taking some other routine cases and occasionally lend his ear to the evidence) and finally give the verdict in favour of defence acquitting the accused. in your case, it is not happening and as Sh. Assumi said, it happens that the judge may not be attending the court on those particular dates incidentally and not intentionally).
filing of varius frivolous applications and go to high court in appeal is the usual tactics every sourceful accused play. it happens in all most all cases, where the accused can afford the advocates.
