Rushil Tandon v. State of U.P. Thru. Addl. Chief Secy. Deptt. of Home and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench (Subhash Vidyarthi, J.), Application U/S 483 No. 2 of 2023, decided 5.1.2023: prayer for expedition of trial in State of U.P. Vs. Rushil Tandon (F.I.R. No. 243 of 2019, Sections 498-A/323/504 I.P.C., P.S. Ashiyana, Lucknow) refused; charges framed 09.05.2022; delay partly attributable to applicant's exemption applications and Presiding Officer's leave; no precedence over older cases; liberty reserved to apply before the trial court; application rejected/dismissed.
What did the court decide?
Direction to expedite refused: charges having been framed only on 09.05.2022, and it being common experience that a huge number of cases are pending in almost all courts, there is no reason to direct the court below to decide the case giving it precedence over other old cases pending before it. ¶8
