#CASE STATUS TRIAL#
TOI had reported on the decades-old pendency of the cases before the trial court on January 9. Later as police submitted a report saying they are untraceable, the Judicial Magistrate First Class court at Uran stopped the proceedings temporarily. Then in their 30s, the accused were booked by Uran police for theft and violation of prohibition law and subsequently absconded, cops were recently sent out for inquiries in the neighbourhoods of addresses provided by them. The TOI report stated that the seven-decade-old criminal trials can resume if suspects are found. These include vacancies of judges, frequent adjournments and lack of adequate arrangement to monitor, track and bunch cases for hearing, the minister had observed. There are several factors which may lead to delay in disposal of cases. “Timely disposal of cases in courts depends on several factors which, inter-alia, include availability of adequate number of judges and judicial officers, supporting court staff and physical infrastructure, complexity of facts involved, nature of evidence, co-operation of stakeholders - the Bar, investigation agencies, witnesses and litigants - and proper application of rules and procedures," Rijiju said. Disposal of pending cases in courts is within the domain of the judiciary, he said, adding that no time frame has been prescribed for disposal of various kinds of cases by the respective courts. In a written reply, Law Minister Kiren Rijiju had said 4,10,47,976 cases are pending in the various district and subordinate courts. The pendency in the apex court was recorded on March 2 last year. The total number of cases pending in the 25 high courts stood at 58,94,060 as on March 21, 2022. Lok Sabha had last year informed that over 4.70 crore cases are pending in various courts in the country, including 70,154 in the Supreme Court.

The report stated that with the police submitting a report saying they are untraceable, the magistrate stopped the proceedings under section 258 of the Criminal Procedure Code (close temporarily). “They were in their 30s when FIRs were registered, they would have been 105 years old today," the TOI report quoted Dahane as saying. However, deputy police commissioner Pankaj Dahane said that whereabouts of both are not known.
