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 appearance of the accused persons. It is also submitted that even after lapse of more than five years, the accused persons did not appear before the Court despite issuance of processes against them. It is a case of matrimonial dispute and the victim is a lady. 4. I have considered the submissions and perused the entire record. 5. It reveals from the perusal of the order sheets that the present case is pending at the stage of appearance of the opposite party nos. 2 to 10. It is reminded that the criminal Courts are never toothless or powerless to ensure compliance of its own orders by the concerned police and administrative authorities. They have got ample powers for the same under law itself. The trial court is expected to invoke its power to ensure service of process upon the accused persons, which is sent under its seal and order in order to procure the presence of the accused. 6. In the circumstances, the Court concerned is directed to invoke the powers given to it under law to ensure the presence of the accused persons / opposite party nos. 2 to 10 by sending
appropriate process to them 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, 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. 8. 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
