IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Criminal Revision No. 48 of 2002 Nathi Singh S/o Sri Naider Singh R/o Village Syaluka Patwari Circle Gundhyat Gav Teh. Purola District Uttarkashi. ………. Revisionist Versus State of Uttaranchal and 11 others. …….Respondents Present : Sri Vinod Sharma, learned counsel present for the revisionist. Sri Lokendra Dobhal, learned counsel present for the respondent Nos. 2 to 12. Sri M.A. Khan, Brief holder present for the State/respondent No.1. Hon’ble Servesh Kumar Gupta, J. After going though short hearing and perusal of the record, it transpires that in criminal case No.316 of 1998 pending in the court of Judicial Magistrate, Purola (Uttarkashi), opposite party Nos. 2 to 12 were summoned after taking cognizance under section 319 Cr.P.C. for the offence under section 323, 504 IPC on 11.01.2002. The said order was challenged in the court of Sessions Judge, Uttarkashi, who allowed the revision of opposite party and quashed the order of cognizance vide his judgment and order dated 13.05.2002. It is this judgment and order of the learned Sessions Judge, Uttarkashi which has been challenged through this revision. The judgment and order of the learned Sessions Judge, Uttarkashi was never stayed in this revision with the result, the prospective accused were never summoned in the trial court. The trial proceeding is pending since 1998. In these past 13 years, in all probabilities, the trial 2 should have been concluded, especially in the outlying court, at Purola where the pendency is very meager. In view of the above, revision has lost the relevance. It is dismissed. Let the lower court record be sent back forthwith. (Servesh Kumar Gupta, J.) JKJ 09.08.2011
