Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:90198 Court No. - 80 Case :- APPLICATION U/S 529 BNSS No. - 1507 of 2025 Applicant :- Uma Devi Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. And 4 Others Counsel for Applicant :- Ishwar Chandra Srivastava Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Nalin Kumar Srivastava,J.
1. The present application under Section 529 BNSS has been filed with a prayer to direct the A.C.J.M., Court No.5, Allahabad to decide the Case No. 875 of 2013, arising out of case crime no. 37 of 2013, under Section 498-A IPC and 3/4 Dowry Prohibition Act, Police Station Kaundhiyara, District Prayagraj expeditiously within a stipulated period. 2. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA and perused the material available on record. 3. It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that the F.I.R. in the matter was lodged in the year 2013. It is also submitted that the case is pending at the stage of recording the evidence of PW-1/ applicant. It is next submitted that no sincere efforts are being made by the Court concerned to decide the said case. It is further submitted that the opposite party nos.2 to 5 are also applying delaying tactics in disposal of the said case. 4. A perusal of the copies of the order sheets goes to show that the aforesaid case pertains to the year 2013. It also appears that the matter is pending at the stage of evidence. It is fairly conceded by the learned counsel for the applicant that on some dates the applicant could not appear before the Court concerned but another reason for the pendency of the present case is that the accused persons are not cooperating with the trial court. In the circumstances, the trial court is directed to make all possible efforts to conclude the evidence in the matter as early as possible and thereafter all possible endeavours be made to dispose of the case under reference as expeditiously as possible preferably with the period of two years without granting any unnecessary or long adjournments to either of the parties, if there is no other legal impediment. 5.
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. 6. With these observations, the application is finally disposed of. Order Date :- 27.5.2025 safi Digitally signed by :- MAHBOOB SAFI High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
