IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM
C.S. DIAS, J
GHEEVARGHESE JOHNY – Appellant
Versus
STATE OF KERALA – Respondent
CRL.MC NO. 3389 OF 2021



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: SHRI.C.R.REGHUNATHAN, SRI.M.V.ASHIM
For the Respondents: SMT.SEETHA S., SR.PP

Timely judicial action is critical; delays that render cases irrelevant are grounds for dismissal.

Headnote:The petition was filed under CrPC to expedite the disposal of a pending criminal case, which was reported to be manageable within a specific time. The Court found that the case had not been addressed within the anticipated timeline, leading to the dismissal of the motion as irrelevant. The primarily cited issues involved the delay in adjudication and judicial efficiency, resulting in the dismissal of the case as infructuous.

O R D E R

The Crl.M.C. is filed to direct the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Trippunithura, to consider and dispose of C.C.No.787 of 2016 expeditiously.

Even though the Crl.M.C. was filed on 28.07.2021 and the learned Magistrate had submitted a report dated 04.08.2021 stating that the case can be disposed of within five months from the date of the report, the Crl.M.C. was not posted thereafter.

At this distance of time, I am certain that the Crl.M.C.

has outlived its purpose. Consequently, the Crl.M.C. is dismissed as infructuous.
