Hon'ble Nalin Kumar Srivastava,J. 1. This application under Section 529 BNSS has been filed with a prayer to direct the court concerned to decide the Case No. 157 of 2023, arising out of case crime no.843 of 2023, under Section 376 ka, kha IPC and Section 5M/ 6 POCSO Act, Police Station Tajganj, District Agra pending before the J.J. Board, Agra, 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 is juvenile offender. It is also submitted that prosecution evidence has been concluded but the J.J. Board is not proceeding with this case and no further steps are being taken up by the Court and the matter is fixed on each and every date for further orders. 4. Per contra, learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer. 5. I have considered the submissions and perused the entire record. 6. From the perusal of the record it appears that the prosecution evidence has been over but it is not clear as to why the Board is not proceeding with the matter. In the circumstances, the J.J. Board is directed to make all endeavours for expeditious disposal of the case, preferably within a period of four months, 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 :- 15.5.2025/safi Digitally signed by :- MAHBOOB SAFI High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
