Perusal of the petition further indicates that statements of one witness PW-1 Govind Ram Swami were recorded way back in the year 2014. It appears that the petitioner is facing trial since 2015 and more than 11 years have passed thereafter. 5. As per the judgment passed by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of High Court Bar Association Allahabad Vs. State of Uttar Pradesh & Ors. reported in 2024 (6) SCC 267, the relief sought for cannot be granted, as the Constitutional Courts cannot issue such direction to the Trial Courts to conclude the trials in a fixed time bound schedule. But looking to the fact that the case is lying pending since last more than a decade, it is expected from the learned Magistrate to make all possible endeavours to expedite the proceedings of the pending case. 6. With the aforesaid observations, the instant criminal misc. petition stands disposed of. The stay application and all pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of. (ANOOP KUMAR DHAND),J KuD/35
