Judgment
Heard Sri Avinash Pandey, the learned counsel for the applicants, Sri Satyendra Srivastava, the learned Additional Government Advocate appearing on behalf of the State and perused the records.
Keeping in view the relief sought in the petition and the order proposed to be passed there is no need to issue notice to the opposite party no.2 as such issuance of notice to the opposite party no.2 is dispensed herewith.
By means of the instant petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India the petitioners have sought a direction to the opposite party no.1/learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Pratapgarh for expeditious disposal of the application filed under Section 128 Cr.P.C. bearing Case No.419 of 2020. The aforesaid application was filed by the applicants on 14.09.2020 and it is still pending.
The expeditious disposal of case is necessary to secure the ends of justice. An application under Section 128 Cr.P.C. ought to be decided expeditiously without granting unnecessary adjournments to any of the parties, but perusal of the order sheet of the trial court reveals that the proceedings are being adjourned repetitively without assigning any reasons at all.
Operative part
