¶1Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the entire record.

¶2In view of the order which is proposed to be passed today, notice to opposite party No.2 is dispensed with.

¶3The only innocuous prayer made in the present application filed under Section 483 Cr.P.C. is that the Additional Civil Judge (Aa. Kha.)/Judicial Magistrate, Room No.31, Sultanpur be directed to decide the Criminal Case No.6535 of 2020, under Section 138 Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881, Police Station Kotwali Nagar, District Sultanpur, expeditiously and preferably within a time bound manner.

¶4Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the trial is not being completed because adjournments have been granted frequently. Therefore, he has prayed to issue a direction to dispose of the aforesaid case in a time bound manner. He has placed reliance on the judgment rendered by Hon'ble Supreme Court in Indian Bank Association and others vs. Union of India and others : (2014) 5 SCC 590.

¶5Learned A.G.A., on the other hand, has opposed the aforesaid prayer and has placed reliance upon the judgment rendered by Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of High Court Bar Association, Allahabad vs. State of U.P. and ors : 2024 1 UPLBEC 545.

¶6Having heard the learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and upon perusal of the entire record, it appears that no substantial progress has been made so far to conclude the aforesaid complaint case.

¶7Therefore, to secure ends of justice, the present application is finally disposed of with the direction to the concerned court below to dispose of the aforesaid case expeditiously keeping in view the provisions contained in Sections 143(2) and 143(3) of N.I. Act, without granting any unnecessary adjournment to the parties, in accordance with law if there is no other legal impediment. (Ajai Kumar Srivastava-I, J.)
