S. No. 01 Regular Cause List IN THE HIGH COURT 0F JAMMU & KASHMIR AND LADAKH AT SRINAGAR CRM(M) 793/2026 GHULAM NABI SHEIKH …Appellant(s)/Petitioner(s) Through: Mr. Z. A. Qureshi, Advocate with Mr. Baber Bilal, Advocate Vs. UT of JK and others ...Respondent(s) Through: CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY PARIHAR, JUDGE ORDER 28.09.2026 1. It is submitted by learned senior counsel for the petitioner that his client is the complainant before the Trial court arising out of case FIR No. 94/2020 under sections 147, 447, 341, 307, 302 and 120-B IPC in which time and again direction was passed by this Court that the trial be expeditiously concluded but the Trial court is proceeding at leisure and his case is taken up after two months. 2. It is submitted that the matter is of 2020 and it has been six years since then, but that the trial is yet to be concluded. He further submits that the matter has reached to its final stage but the Trial court is not proceeding to dispose it off. 3. Having regard to the submissions made at bar, the petition is taken for disposal at its threshold as the FIR is of 2020 and in terms of record the prosecution evidence has been closed in the year 2024 following which even the accused were examined in terms of Section 313 CrPC (Section 342 of J&K CrPC) on 23.12.2024 and after the closure of defense evidence the matter has been listed for hearing. It is urged that since the accused have been released on bail, they are avoiding to advance the final hearing as a result the proceeding get protracted. 4. Given the submission made, the case appears to be the one which is covered under the Action plan that has been formulated by the High Court and communicated to the Trial court for effective disposal of old cases. 5. Keeping in that in view, this Court expects the Trial court shall adhere to said Action plan and conclude the chargesheet at the earliest. Though the counsel for the petitioner laid a stress for laying specific time line, that may not be proper because once the Action plan has been drawn the Trial court is bound to dispose of the chargesheet at the earliest. 6. Therefore, the Trial court is directed to expeditiously dispose it of by taking the matter on weekly basis. 7. Disposed of.
