Mr. Pankaj Tangwan, learned counsel for the applicant. 2. Mr. V.S. Rawat, learned A.G.A. for the State. 3. The present criminal transfer application has been filed under Section 407 of Cr.P.C. with a prayer to transfer the Criminal Case No. 1021 of 2019 (Criminal Case No. 1815 of 2019), State of Uttarakhand Vs.

Further prayer has also been sought to stay the proceeding arising out of the present criminal case. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the accused persons are threatening the applicant, who is a senior citizen aged about 80 years due to which he wants transfer of the aforesaid criminal case. 5. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 6. The allegations are vague and general in nature and no specific allegation regarding the threat given by the accused to the applicant has been mentioned. Learned counsel for the applicant has also produced the ordersheet of the criminal case, which reveals that cognizance and summoning order is of 07.06.2019 and the case is still pending for prosecution witnesses. 7. Having heard learned counsel for the parties under the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court does not find any good reason to transfer the Criminal Case No. 1021 of 2019, State of Uttarakhand Vs. Manjit Singh and Others pending before the court of learned Judicial Magistrate, Doiwala, District Dehradun to the court of Judicial Magistrate, Roorkee, District Haridwar. 8. At this stage, after arguing for a while, learned counsel for the applicant has confined his prayer to the extent that the aforesaid criminal case may be decided in an expeditious manner. 9. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and after perusing the material available on record, this Court finds the prayer sought by the applicant to be innocuous. 10. Having considered the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the applicant and also considering the fact that applicant is a senior citizen aged about 80 years, this Court is of the view that the interest of justice would be served by directing the trial court to expedite the proceedings. 11. Accordingly, the present criminal misc. application is disposed of with a direction to the court concerned to make all possible endeavours to conclude proceedings of Criminal Case No. 1021 of 2019 (Criminal Case No. 1815 of 2019), State of Uttarakhand Vs. Manjit Singh and Others, under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 of IPC, pending before the court of learned Judicial Magistrate, Doiwala, District Dehradun, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of one year from the date of production of a certified copy of this order, without granting unnecessary adjournments to either party. 12. Pending applications, if any, shall stand disposed of accordingly. (Alok Mahra J.) 30.05.2026 Ujjwal
