CORAM : SMT.BHARATI H. DANGRE, J.

DATE : 05th SEPTEMBER 2018

P.C.:

1. Limited relief sought in the application to the effect that

the proceedings which the applicant has instituted under Section

498A before the 12th Court, Metropolitan Magistrate, Bandra,

Mumbai be expedited. It is contended that the said proceedings are

pending since 9 years, being instituted in the year 2007.

2. On the last date this Court had asked the learned APP

to produce the case wise pendency of the learned Metropolitan

Magistrate Court at Bandra. Accordingly, the learned APP has

produced on record the pendency chart, from which it is reflected

N.S. Kamble page 1 of 2

that the 12th Court, Metropolitan Magistrate, the pendency as on

15.08.2018, is 11,162 cases.

In such circumstances taking into consideration the

huge pendency before the said Court, it would not be appropriate to

fix a time schedule and burden the said Court since, there might be

some other cases which requires urgent disposal or hearing. In such

circumstances this Court would only observe that Metropolitan

Magistrate would make all endeavour to expeditiously dispose of the

case No.1352/PW/08 arising out of FIR No.547 of 2007. With the

aforesaid observations application is disposed of.
