This application under section 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred on behalf of applicant for seeking expeditious disposal of trial pending in shape of Criminal Case No.237 of 2021 (State vs. Jai Kishan and Others) arising out of Case Crime No.291 of 2021, under sections 324, 354, 354B, 504, 506, 452, 307 I.P.C. and sections 7/8 of POCSO Act, P.S. Modinagar, District- Ghaziabad, pending before learned court of Special Judge, POCSO Court No.1, Ghaziabad. 3. At the very outset, learned A.G.A. raised a preliminary objection by way of submitting that the prayer for expeditious disposal as made in the instant application shall not be entertained by this Court, since the said prayer cannot be entertained in application under section 482 Cr.P.C., whereas the same shall be entertained in application 483 Cr.P.C. or matter under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, hence the instant application is liable to be dismissed. 4. When confronted with above, learned counsel for the applicant could not overcome the same. 5. In view of the above, this application under section 482 Cr.P.C. stands dismissed on the grounds of alternative remedy. 6. However, it is made clear that the applicant will be at liberty to avail all the other alternate remedies available at law.
