C482 No. 398 of 2011 Hon'ble Prafulla C. Pant, J. Shri L.K.Tiwari, Advocate, present for the petitioner. Heard. By means of this petition moved under section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, the petitioner has sought direction to the trial court to decide the criminal complaint case no. 4066 of 2010, Kavita Yadav vs. Y.S.Chauhan, pending in the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dehradun. The case in question before the trial court pertains to the offence punishable under section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. From the perusal of the photo copy of the criminal complaint case, it appears that the case is pending since 2003. Sub section (3) of section 143 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, provides that every trial shall be conducted as expeditiously as possible and an endeavor shall be made to conclude the trial within six months from the date of filing of the complaint. In the above circumstance, this petition is disposed of summarily directing the trial court to proceed with the case and conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible keeping in mind the spirit contained in section 143 of the Act.
