Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:30548 Court No. - 82 Case :- APPLICATION U/S 529 BNSS No. - 56 of 2025 Applicant :- Ajay Singh Opposite Party :- State of U.P. and Another Counsel for Applicant :- Rishi Kant Rai,Tej Bahadur Rai Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. 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. 1459 of 2016, under Section 138 Negotiable Instrument Act, District Allahabad pending in the Court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Court No.9, Allahabad expeditiously within a stipulated period.
2. Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. for the State.
3. It appears from the perusal of the record that the matter was lingering on account of absconding of accused / opposite party no.2, however, now he has appeared before the Court and the case is pending at the stage of recording of evidence. Needless to say that evidence may be adduced by the applicant / complainant himself but it is very strange that instead of adducing evidence, the applicant / complainant unnecessarily knocked the door of this Court, which is not a good practice. However, the Court concerned is directed to make all endeavours for expeditious disposal of the case preferably within six months from the date of production of certified copy of this order it, if there is no legal impediment. It is further directed that no unnecessary adjournment will be sought/granted.
4. On the next date fixed, whatsoever it may be, the applicant will appear before the Court concerned and shall record his evidence.
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 the above observations, the application stands disposed of. Order Date :- 4.3.2025/safi Digitally signed by :- MAHBOOB SAFI High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
