P.C.:

Perused the letter dated 3rd September, 2025, received from the learned District Judge-03 and Additional Sessions Judge, Jalna, requesting an extension of three months to dispose of the sessions case.

This is the first instance of seeing an extension of time to dispose of a sessions case. In view of the above, three months' time, as prayed for, is extended for deciding Sessions Case No.132 of 2024, with the following directions.

I) The Trial Court is directed to decide the case as expeditiously as possible, in any case within three months. Needless to mention that it is a sessions trial and word "sessions" means once it is started it shall not be stopped until it is concluded.

902 ba.174.25.odt II) For that purpose, the Trial Court is expected to keep the date twice or thrice in a week and conclude the trial accordingly. III) The Trial Court is further directed not to grant adjournments if it is prayed on behalf of either the prosecution or the defence unless there is extreme urgency or reasonable ground. If the accused are not produced, the Trial Court may call the jail authority and escort party and warn them by passing an order accordingly by giving one opportunity to them to produce the accused, under trial prisoners continuously. If it is not followed then the Trial Court may proceed against these authorities for not following the order of the legal authority of public servant as per the applicable provisions of Chapter X of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 i.e. Chapter XIII of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. If the advocates for accused or the public prosecutor are not cooperating with the Court for conducting the trial as expeditiously as possible, the Trial Court may impose heavy costs on the concerned accused.
