1. This application under Section 529 BNSS has been filed with a prayer to direct the court concerned to decide the Complaint Case No.3939 of 2024 (old case no. 2248 of 2012) under Sections 419, 420 IPC, Police Station Rani Ki Sarai, District Azamgarh pending in the Court of Civil Judge (SD)/ FTC, Azamgarh, 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 matter is pending at the stage of framing of charge and also for obtaining the death report of co-accused Rita. The matter is very old and comes into the category of 'critically old cases'. The court concerned is not taking proper interest in disposal of the said case.
4. I have considered the submissions and perused the entire record.
5. In the circumstances, the Court concerned is directed to obtain death report in respect of the co-accused Rita, who is said to have expired, as early as possible, and thereafter all endeavours shall be made by it for expeditious disposal of the case preferably within one year, if there is no legal impediment. It is further directed that no unnecessary adjournment will be sought/granted.
6. 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 etc. 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.
7. With the above observations, the application stands disposed of. Order Date :- 15.4.2025/safi Digitally signed by :- MAHBOOB SAFI High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
