Holding
The court dismissed the application as the matter was already scheduled for hearing before the appellate court.
Summary
The applicant, Minakshi, filed a criminal application seeking a direction to the appellate court to decide an application pending due to the unavailability of the Presiding Officer. The applicant argued that the pending application had not been decided. The court examined the record and noted that notice had already been issued to the respondent and the matter was scheduled for hearing on 28 May 2026 before the appellate court. Since the procedural steps were already in motion, the judge declined to entertain the fresh application. Consequently, the criminal application was dismissed.
Issues considered
- What procedural relief, if any, can be granted when a pending application before an appellate court remains undecided due to the Presiding Officer's unavailability?
