Mr. Balvinder Singh, learned counsel for the applicant. 2. Ms. Pushpa Bhatt, learned D.A.G. alongwith Mr. S.C. Dumka, learned A.G.A. for the State. 3. The present criminal misc. application has been filed by the applicant seeking a direction to expedite the proceedings of Criminal Case No. 511 of 2022 (Old Criminal Case No. 1927 of 2018) (FIR No. 84 of 2017), for the offence punishable under Sections 498-A, 323 and 506 of IPC and Section 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, pending in the Court of learned Additional Civil Judge (Jr. Div.)/Judicial Magistrate, Bazpur, District Udham Singh Nagar. 4. In this case, an FIR was lodged by the applicant under Sections 498-A, 323 and 506 of IPC and Section 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. After investigation, chargesheet was filed against the respondent no. 2 and cognizance was taken vide order dated 29.10.2018. Thereafter, notices were issued to the respondents. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that respondent no. 2 deliberately avoided service of notice and ultimately notices were served upon him on 01.06.2023. Despite service, he did not appear, therefore, bailable warrants were issued against him and ultimately respondent filed the surrender application and he was granted bail on 25.07.2023. 6. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that despite service, respondent is delaying the trial and by perusal of the ordersheet it appears that in each and every date, respondent has filed exemption application before the court concerned, which was accepted. Since, the cognizance was taken in the year 2013 and the trial is underway, therefore, it would be expedient if the trial is concluded expeditiously. Hence, a direction for expeditious disposal of the case has been prayed for. 7. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 8. Having considered the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the applicant and taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that the interest of justice would be served by directing the trial court to expedite the proceedings. 9. Accordingly, the present criminal misc. application is disposed of with a direction to the court concerned to make all possible endeavours to conclude the proceedings of Criminal Case No. 511 of 2022 (Old Criminal Case No. 1927 of 2018) (FIR No. 84 of 2017), for the offence punishable under Sections 498-A, 323 and 506 of IPC and Section 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, pending in the Court of learned Additional Civil Judge (Jr. Div.)/Judicial Magistrate, Bazpur, District Udham Singh Nagar, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four months from the date of production of certified copy of this order, without granting unnecessary adjournments to either party. 10. Pending applications, if any, shall stand disposed of accordingly. (Alok Mahra J.) 16.04.2026 Ujjwal
