Hon'ble Nalin Kumar Srivastava,J.
This application under Section 483 Cr.P.C. has been filed with a prayer to direct the court concerned to decide the Complaint Case No.93 of 2020 (Neha Singh Vs. Dinesh Kumar Pandey) under Section 138 Negotiable Instrument Act, Police Station Colonelganj, District Prayagraj pending in the Court of Special Chief Judicial Magistrate, Allahabad, expeditiously within a stipulated period.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. for the State.
It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that the said case has been filed by the applicant / complainant under Section 138 Negotiable Instrument Act in 2020. Accused is not cooperating with the court and only dates are being fixed for appearance. Almost 4 years have been passed and it has not been decided as yet. Therefore, prayer has been made to decide the aforesaid complaint case expeditiously within a stipulated period.
In the circumstances, the Court concerned is directed to make all possible endeavours and effective steps to ensure the appearance of the accused person before the court within a period two months from the date of production of certified copy of this order. It is also directed that on the date fixed by the trial court the accused person shall appear before the Court and no adjournment or exemption for appearance will normally be granted to the accused on any ground whatsoever and thereafter all endeavours shall be made by the court concerned for expeditious disposal of the complaint case, as described above, if there is no legal impediment.
It is also made clear that the Court / Presiding Officer is not the only stake holder in the trial and disposal of a case, hence, besides the P.O. concerned, all the stake holders i.e. police and executive authorities, counsels, parties to the case, staff are also made bound by this order and it will be their responsibility also to assist the Court in every manner for the expeditious disposal of this case.
