Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State as well as perused the record. This application under Section 483 Cr.P.C. has been filed by the applicant seeking a direction to the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-IV, Hardoi to expeditiously decide the pending Case No.482 of 2014 / 15922 of 2023, under Sections 138/142 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that a positive direction be given to the trial court to decide the aforesaid case within a stipulated period. Learned A.G.A. for the State has no objection on the prayer made by the learned counsel for the applicant and submits that a positive direction be given to the trial court to decide the case of the applicant, as merely keeping pending the same by the trial court does not suffice any purpose of the litigation. In view of the statements made by the learned counsel for the parties, the trial court is directed to decide the aforesaid case expeditiously i.e. within six months, without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties from the date of filing of the certified copy of this order, unless there is some legal impediment or unless there is any order passed by the higher court staying the proceedings of the case. With the aforesaid observation, the instant application is disposed of finally. It is clarified that the observations, if any, made in this order are strictly confined to the disposal of this application and must not be construed to have any reflection on the ultimate merits of the case.
