It is contended by the learned counsel for the applicant that aforesaid complaint case was instituted in the year 2024 and almost one and half years have been passed but the same has not been expedited so far which is completely against the mandate of Section 143(3) of the N.I. Act. 4. The relief, as sought, for expeditious disposal of the complaint case, as above, appears to be innocuous. 5. In such view of the matter and keeping in view that mandate of Section 143 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, the instant C528 applicant is disposed of finally with the direction to the learned Judicial Magistrate, IInd , Dehradun to expedite the proceedings of Complaint Case No. 7503 of 2024 as early as possible preferably within nine months from the date of production of certified copy UKHC010118882026 2026:UHC:5630 of this order. 6.
