RATAN SINGH Vs. STATE O

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Heard Sri Rajesh Pachauari, Advocate for applicant Ratan Singh and Sri S. A. H. Rizvi, Addl. Government Advocate for the State.

(2.) THIS is a second bail application of the applicant in Case Crime No. 2 of 2007 (Crl. Case No. 403 of 2007) under sections 394, 411 I. P. C. Police Station Kosi Kalan District Mathura.

(3.) THIS bail application disposed of accordingly. " 4. In compliance with the order, the Magistrate Chhata is fixing the case twice a week but during the course of the last 3 months, only one witness has been examined. The purpose and object of the earlier order was to expedite the proceedings, so that the case may be decided as soon as possible. That desideratum is being frustrated, though, there has been strict compliance, of the order. What is, therefore, happening, is that, the words of the order, are being followed, while the spirit is being crucified. 5. I hope the Magistrate will realise that the purpose and purport of the order is to accelerate the decision of the case, and he must proceed with that objective in view. If the prosecution is not active and alert, the Magistrate must write to the appropriate authority about the same, and should take all other measures, to expedite the case, because, the accused is in Jail.
