Heard learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Vivek Rastogi, learned A.G.A. for the State.
By means of this Application under Section 482 of Cr.P.C., applicant has invoked the inherent jurisdiction of this Court, for a direction to the court below, i.e., Judicial Magistrate-II, Gorakhpur to decide the Complaint Case No. 2420 of 2019 (Mohan Lal Patawa Vs. Ram Ashish Yadav), under Section 138 of Negotiable of Instrument Act, pending before it, expeditiously, within a time bound period.
I have perused the record as well as the order-sheet brought on record. From the order-sheet it transpires that the case is being adjourned on one pretext or the other and only the dates are being fixed.
Expeditious disposal of a case is the right of every litigant and it is expected from every court to endeavour to dispose of a case pending before it, expeditiously, without granting unnecessary adjournment to any of the parties. Therefore, the court below is directed to make all possible efforts to decide the aforesaid case expeditiously, in accordance with law, provided there is no legal impediment.
With the aforesaid direction, this application is finally disposed of.
