C482 No. 735 of 2009 Hon’ble B.C. Kandpal, J. By way of this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C., the petitioner who is the complainant of Criminal Complaint Case No. 5182 of 2009 (Old No. 742 of 2004), Yogesh Talwar Vs Vinod Thapa, under Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act pending in the court of Judicial Magistrate 1st, Dehradun has sought relief for expeditiously dispose of the above case. Heard Sri Karan Anand, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. The complaint in this case was filed in the year 2004, since, then the matter is pending before the court concerned. The record further reveals that in this case, the summoning order was passed by the court of C.J.M., Dehradun on 18.01.2005 and thereafter more than four years have elapsed but the case could not proceed further. The ordersheet further reveals that the accused in this case has been seeking the adjournment virtually on every date before the trial court and the trial court appears to be quite liberal in granting the adjournments. The intention of 138 Negotiable Instrument Act is to decide the cases expeditiously. The court below should not grant the adjournment in a liberal manner. In the aforesaid circumstances, I think, that the prayer made by the petitioner/complainant appears to be quite innocuous. I direct the trial Judge not to grant adjournment to either side on any unreasonable ground. The trial Judge shall expedite the disposal of the case without causing any unreasonable delay. With the aforesaid direction, the petition is disposed of accordingly. (B.C.K., J.) 14.10.2009 ASWAL
