1. This application under Section 529 BNSS has been filed with a prayer to direct the court concerned to decide the Case No.686 of 2023 (State Vs. Manoj Balmiki and another) arising out of case crime no.0224 of 2023, under Sections 406, 504, 506 IPC, Police Station George Town, District Prayagraj pending in the Court of Addl. Chief Judicial Magistrate-VII, 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 by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant before this Court is the informant of the aforesaid case. The case is pending since 2023. All the accused persons were summoned and appeared before the court concerned, but no charge has been framed as yet against the accused persons and only dates are being fixed by the trial court. In these circumstances, a prayer has been made to direct the court concerned for expeditious disposal of the case after framing the charge without any unnecessary adjournment.
4. I have considered the submissions and perused the entire record.
5. It reflects from the perusal of the order-sheet of the trial court that summons were served upon the opposite party no.2 / accused and he subsequently appeared before the court and got bail but since then the matter is pending without any effective proceeding.
6. In these circumstances, the Court concerned is directed to frame charge in this case as per law within two months from the date of production of certified copy of this order before it. It is also
directed that on the date fixed by the trial court the accused person shall appear before the Court and no adjournment or exemption for
appearance will normally be granted to any of the accused person on any ground whatsoever and thereafter all endeavours shall be made by it for expeditious disposal of the case, if there is no legal impediment.
7. 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, counsel, 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.
8. With the above observations, the application stands disposed of.
