C482 No. 201 of 2010 Hon. Prafulla C. Pant, J. Shri Karan Anand, Advocate, present for the petitioner. Heard. By means of this petition, moved under Section 482 Cr.P.C., the petitioner has sought direction to the trial court to decide the proceedings of the criminal complaint case No. 1993 of 2005 (New No. 5956 of 2009) Suresh Kumar Vs. Usha Rani, pending in the court of Judicial Magistrate Ist, Dehradun. The prayer made in the petition is innocuous. The criminal complaint appears to have been pending since 2005 (for last four years), as is apparent from the copy of said complaint, which is filed as annexure-1 to the petition. I have also perused the copy of the order sheet of the criminal complaint case, which is filed as annexure-2 to the petition. In view of the provisions contained in sub-section (2) and sub- section (3) of Section 143 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (as amended), this petition deserves to be allowed. Having considered submissions of learned counsel for the petitioner and after going through papers on record, this petition is allowed directing the trial court to decide the aforesaid criminal complaint case as expeditiously as possible, keeping in mind the spirit contained in sub-section (2) and sub-section (3) of Section 143 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.
