And 4 Others Counsel for Applicant :- Arbind Kumar Yadav,Jitendra Rana,Pramod Kumar Panday 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.83179 of 2023, arising out of case crime no. 19 of 2023, under Sections 498-A, 323, 504, 506 IPC, Police Station Lanka, District Varanasi pending in the Court of A.C.J.M., Court No.3, Varanasi, 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 aforesaid case is pending since 2023. Evidence of PW-1 has been recorded. The opposite party nos. 2 to 5 are adopting delaying tactics in disposal of the said case. The case is at the stage of cross- examination of PW-1. The Court concerned is not taking proper interest to decide the said case. 4. Learned AGA opposed the prayer. 5. I have considered the submissions and perused the entire record. 6. It reflects from the perusal of the order sheets that opposite party nos.2 to 5 are not cooperating with the Court concerned in the proceeding of the trial. In the circumstances, the trial court is directed to make all possible efforts to complete the cross- examination of PW-1 within a period of two months from the date of production of certified copy of this order before it, and thereafter make all possible endeavours to dispose of the case under reference as expeditiously as possible without granting any unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties, if there is no other legal impediment and applicant cooperates with the trial 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. Order Date :- 21.7.2025 safi Digitally signed by :- MAHBOOB SAFI High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
