1. This application under Section 529 BNSS has been filed with a prayer to direct the court concerned to decide the Criminal Case No.115 of 2023 (Registered No. 236/2023) under Section 125 CrPC, pending in the Court of learned Additional Principal Judge, Family Court, Court No.4, Ghaziabad expeditiously within 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 the applicant is the aggrieved wife. It is further submitted that evidence of applicant has been recorded by the Court but after that no effective proceeding is taking place. The Court concerned is not taking proper interest in disposal of the said case. 4. I have considered the submissions and perused the record. 5. From perusal of the record it appears that the matter is pending for cross- examination of P.W.1, hence it is expected that in the interest of justice a direction should be issued to the trial Court to expedite the proceedings of the aforesaid complaint case. This Court is also aware of the fact that the Family Courts in the State of U.P. are overburdened with the cases and are, as such gasping for breath. 6. In the circumstances, the Court concerned is directed to decide the aforesaid case in accordance with law preferably within six months from the date of production of certified copy of this order before it, if there is no legal impediment. It is further directed that no unnecessary adjournment will be sought/granted. 7. It is also made clear that the Court / Presiding Officer is not the only stake holder of the trial and disposal of a case, hence, besides the P.O. concerned, all the stake holders i.e. police and execution authorities, advocates, 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.
