1. This application under Section 529 BNSS has been filed with a prayer to direct the court concerned to decide the Session Case No. 1380 of 2023, arising out of case crime no.250 of 2023, under Sections 376 DA, 506 IPC and 5j(ii)/6 of POCSO Act, Police Station Jaitpur, District Shahjahanpur, pending in the Court of Additional Sessions Judge - 42/ Special Judge (POCSO Act), Shahjahanpur, 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 that the applicant is the accused in the said case and case pertains to the year 2023 and only PW-1 has been examined so far before the trial court and the other witnesses are not turning-up. The Court concerned is not taking proper interest in disposal of the said case. 4. Learned AGA opposed the prayer. 5. I have considered the submissions and perused the record. 6. It reveals from the perusal of the order sheets that the statement of PW-1 has been recorded and it is pending at the stage of recording of the evidence of remaining witnesses. The Court takes cognizance of this fact that is a case under the POCSO Act and there is specific provision under the Act itself for disposal of such cases within the stipulated period of time. The Court expects that the trial court shall keep the said provisions into mind and make all possible efforts to dispose of the case under reference within a period of one year without granting unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties, if there is no other legal impediment and also keeping in view the work load of the said Court. 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.
