The police after investigation has filed the charge sheet against the applicant and three other accused persons, whose names were cropped up during the investigation. The trial is going on. The cross examination of P.W. 4 is almost going to be completed and now only the witnesses of fact are left to be examined and thereafter, the defense is to produce witnesses in their defense. The court concerned is granting/allowing the applications moved by the accused persons for exemption from appearance and it has been granted by passing an order. This fact may be seen from the order dated 19.03.2024, 30.04.2024, 18.05.2024, 06.07.2024, 20.08.2024, 20.09.2024, 12.11.2024 & 07.12.2024. Hence, the applicant has approached this Court for issuance of direction to the court concerned to decide the trial within a stipulated time, as this Court may fix. Learned Counsel for the applicant has submitted that due to leniency shown by the court concerned by allowing the application for exemption from appearance moved on behalf of accused persons, the proceedings are being intentionally dragged on causing harassment to the applicant. On the other hand, learned AGA is unable to dispute the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and going through the record of the case, it is found that the submissions put forth by learned counsel for the applicant is correct that the court concerned has allowed the applications for exemption from appearance moved by accused persons, causing harassment to the applicant. As such, the present application is disposed of with a direction to the court concerned to make endeavour to decide the Session Trial No. 212 of 2018 (State vs. Mokim), case crime No. 36 of 2017, under Sections 420, 376, 313, 504, 506 IPC Police Station- Dhammaur, District Sultanpur expeditiously, in accordance with law, without granting any unnecessary adjournment and exemption from appearance shall not be granted in a routine manner.
