Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:123697 Court No. - 83 Case :- APPLICATION U/S 529 BNSS No. - 2410 of 2025 Applicant :- Jaswant And 2 Others Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Vijay Babu 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.4755/IX/14 (State Vs. Jaswant and 3 others) arising out of case crime no.29 of 2014, under Sections 323, 504, 506 IPC and 3(X) (2) SC/ST Act, Police Station Vrindavan, District Mathura pending in the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Mathura, 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 that the applicant is the accused in the aforesaid case. The case is pending since 2014 and almost 11 years have been passed but no evidence has been recorded by the trial court which is very surprising. The trial court as well as the prosecution are not taking any interest to procure the presence of the witnesses before it. Perusal of the order-sheet reveals that cognizance in this matter was taken in 2014 and since then the trial is pending. It is a very old case and falls under the category of critically old cases. Perusal of the record further shows that the case is running at the stage of evidence.
4. In the circumstances, it is directed that the court concerned after procuring the evidence and completing all other formalities shall make all endeavours for the expeditious disposal of the aforesaid case if possible within a period of one year, if there is no legal impediment, provided the applicants cooperate with the trial.
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 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 :- 25.7.2025 / ss Digitally signed by :- SANDEEP SHARMA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
