1. This application under Section 483 Cr.P.C. has been filed with a prayer to direct the court concerned to decide the Case No.2426 of 2012 (State Vs. Ranjan Gaud and another) arising out of case crime no.227 of 2012, under Sections 408, 418, 420, 467, 468 IPC, Police Station Colonelganj, District Prayagraj (Allahabad) pending in the Court of Special Chief Judicial Magistrate, Allahabad, expeditiously within a stipulated period.
2. Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. for the State.
3. It is submitted that the applicant before this Court is the informant in this case. The matter pertains to the year 2012 and only partial evidence of the informant / P.W.1 has been recorded so far and the trial court seems to be a little lethargic in recording the evidence of the witnesses. The applicant is regularly appearing before the court as P.W.1 but his evidence has not been concluded as yet.
4. In these circumstances, the Court concerned is directed to record the evidence of P.W.1 as per law within a period of two months from the date of production of certified copy of this order before it and thereafter all endeavours shall be made by it for the expeditious disposal of the aforesaid case, preferably within a period of one year, if there is no legal impediment.
5. It is also made clear that the Court / Presiding Officer is not the only stake holder in the trial and disposal of a case, hence, besides the P.O. concerned, all the stake holders i.e. police and executive authorities, counsels, parties to the case, staff are also made bound by this order and it will be their responsibility also to assist the Court in every manner for the expeditious disposal of this case.
6. With the above observations, the application stands disposed of. Order Date :- 29.4.2025 ss Digitally signed by :- SANDEEP SHARMA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
