VIJAY SINGH Vs. STATE OF U P

Decided On January 25, 2008
VIJAY SINGH Appellant
V/S
STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) PRADEEP Kant, J. This is an application for recall of my order dated 3. 8. 07, by means of which, on the application of the complainant, hearing of the criminal appeal has been expedited.

(2.) AN objection has been raised by Sri Kunwar Mridul Rakesh, Senior Advocate, saying that the application itself is not maintainable, as it is prerogative of Hon'ble the Chief Justice or the Senior Judge, as the case may be, to expedite the hearing of any case including criminal appeal and no party can say that the appeal be not heard at an early date.

(3.) THE grievance of the applicant that he was not given any copy of the expedite application though is not of much relevance as he himself has filed a copy of the application alongwith the application for recall and has also made an effort to meet the allegations made therein. Even otherwise on this count, no prejudice can be said to have been caused, as the applicant has been given full opportunity to put his version in case he feels aggrieved by the order of early listing or in other words, the grounds on which he opposes the early hearing of the appeal.
