2. The matter came up on O3.O2.2O25 and was adjourned to O5.O2.2O25. On O5.O2.2O25, the matter was adjourned to I2.O2.2O25. Or:i 12.02.2025, the matter was adjourned to

19.02.2025. Today when the matter is ca_lled, there is no representation for the petitioner.

3. Main contention of learned counsel for petitioner was that this Court has ample power to secure the ends ofjustice and to prevcnt the abuse of process of any Court under Section 482 Cr .P.C. That a direction be given to the triat Court for expeditious disposal of the matter. That the matter 2 JAK, J Crl.P.No.9l5 2025 is pending on the hle JCJ-cum-XXIV Additional Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Hayathnagar. Learned counsel further submitted that F.l.R.No.L2l of 2O22 catne to be Iodged on 07.O2.2O22 by the de facto complainant against the petitioner, charged with Sections 494,498 IPC and 156 (3) Cr.P.C. That charge sheet is filed. That a Maintenance Case in M.C.No.9S of 2O2l is pending. Petitioner seeks for expeditious disposal of the case by prescribing a time limit.

5. Heard learned Assistant Public for respondent No. 1- State. There is no representation for the petitioner.

6. F.I.R.No.121 of 2022 came to be registered by the de facto complainant and charge sheet is Iiled. This Criminal Petition is filed for expeditious disposal of C.C.No.B43 of 2022 on the file the JCJ-cum-XXIV Additional Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Hayathnagar. Considered the J JAK, J Crl.P.No.9l5 2025 submissions of learned counsel for petitioner made ea-rlier, this Court is not inclined to issue a direction for expeditious disposal of the matter. 7 . The law is r,r,ell settled on issuance of directions for expeditious disposal of the matters pending before the trial Court. The Honble Apex Court in M. Gopalakrishnan & Others v. Pasumpon Muthuramaliugah & Anotherr held as follows: "... Looking to the nature of the order passed by the High Court, we are not inclined to grant ieave to appeal in this matter but feel impelled to observe that ordinarily, before passing arry such order for expeditious proceedings in a particular case (which might appear to be rather of innocuous nature), it would be appropriate for the higher Court to appreciate that any such order for one case, without cogent and extremely compelling reasons, might upset the calendar a:rd schedule of the subordinate Court; mighr result in assigning an unwarranted priority to that particular case over and above other cases pending in that Court; and progression of such other cases might suffer for no reason and none of the faults of thc litigants involved therein. Moreover, such petitions, even when moved before the higher Court, need to be examined from all angles. It has transpired in tl"e present matter that the said petition u,as {iled by the complainant wit}tout even joining the accused persons as parties and the High Court had passed the impugled order while being not informed of the other relevant facts, including penrlency of the revision petitions in the same High Court, as filed by the accused persons. ' sLe 1crl.;. Diarv No(s).30839 of202l I I I I 4 JAK, J Crl.P.No.9l5 2025 Having said so, we refrain from entertaining this petition lest there be other complications in the trial or in the pending matters but, it goes without saying that the said petitions, if pending in the High Court also deserve to be taken up for consideration expeditiously. We say no more."

8. In view of the law declared by the Hon,ble Apex Court in M. Gopalakrishnan (supra), there a_re no cogent and extremely compelling reasons made out for issuing a direction for expeditious disposal of C.C.No.843 of 2022 pending on the file of JCJ-cum-XXIV Additional Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Hayathnagar. The Criminal Petition is devoid of merits.

9. For the reasons stated above, the Criminal petition is liable to be dismissed and is accordingly dismissed. Miscellaneous applications pending, il any, shall stand closed. 1 To, //TRUE COPY// Sd/- L.
