UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following
O R D E R
CRLMP NO.18983/2014:
Shri Harish Salve, learned Amicus Curaie
has filed this petition, inter alia, seeking the following prayers :
“(a) Vacate the order of stay on pronouncement of
judgment in Cr.No.67/2002 (Meghaninagar Gulberg
Society Case) as originally directed by this
Hon’ble Court vide Order dated 06.05.2010, and as
continued vide Order dated 26.10.2010;
(b) Direct the Ld. Presiding Judge to hear
Cr.No.67/2002 (Meghaninagar Gulberg Society
Case) expeditiously and pronounce Judgment in the
same;
(c)…….”
- By an order dated 06.05.2010, this Court had,
inter alia, ordered an examination of all police records in the possession of the SIT. To facilitate the same, this Court had directed that the Trial Courts hearing the concerned matters shall not pronounce the final judgment till further orders. This Court, thereafter, lifted the restraint passed by the aforementioned order in all cases except Cr.No.67 of 2002 (Meghaninagar Gulberg Society Case), whereby the trial of the said case was permitted to proceed but the restraint on pronouncing the final judgment was continued, by order dated 26.10.2010.
- Insofar as prayer (a) of the present application is
concerned, we do not intend to modify our earlier stay order dated 06.05.2010, which was further continued vide our order dated 26.10.2010.
- Insofar as prayer (b) of the application is concerned, if this Court directs the learned Presiding Judge to hear Cr.No.67/2002 (Meghaninagar Gulberg Society Case) as expeditiously as possible, it may not prejudice the case of any of the parties. Therefore, we now direct the learned Presiding Judge to hear the said case on a day to day basis and keep the judgment ready, however, may not pronounce the same without the leave of this Court.
- We further request the learned Presiding Judge to
complete the hearing of Cr.No.67 of 2002 within three months’ time from today, without unnecessarily giving any adjournment to either of the parties.
CRLMP No.18983/2014 is disposed of accordingly.
