¶1Heard Ms. Pallavi Rani, learned advocate, holding brief of Mr. Pankaj Goswami, learned counsel for the applicant, learned Additional Government Advocate for the State/opposite party no.1 and perused the record.

¶2By means of this application, the applicant has prayed for expeditious disposal of case being Case No. 663 of 2021 (Smt. Usha Chawla Vs. Sameer Maheshwari), under Section 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act, Police Station Hariparwat, District Agra, pending before learned Additional Court, Court No.2 Agra within the time-bound frame.

¶3It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that applicant is complainant in this case. The complaint was filed by the applicant on 24.05.2021, in which accused/opposite party no.2 was summoned on 07.01.2022, but after repeated coercive measures taken against him, he appeared before the trial court and obtained bail on 22.06.2023, but thereafter, no effective proceeding is going on, on account of moving adjournment application by the accused.
