Dear experts,
I've a 498a/ 406 case running in trial court since July 2013. To fight the case, I've to travel a long distance of more than 2000 KM. After admitting ourselves on regular bail, we filed several applications including CrPC 239, CrPC 205, Senior Citizens Act etc. The case has been dragging and none of these applications have been disposed off despite of a long wait of 4 years. Currently, all the applications are under consideration after arguments were completed nearly 2 years back.
The current judge has been intentionally dragging the case and usually, gives a date of 3 months or more. He is, otherwise, known to be a very aggressive judge. Besides that, he hasn't shown any propensity to call my parents to court. He usually accepts applications U/s 317 for any of us without any reservations.
Coming to my query: - in order to make provide much needed impetus to my case, I'm planning to make the court aware of the guidelines given by the Hon'ble Supreme Court for handling of matrimonial case especially, 498a and other dowry harassment in its landmark judgment titled Rajesh Sharma & Ors. Vs State of UP & Anr. (2017 AIOL 3631). The judgment has clear guideline about giving exemption from personal appearance to out station family members.
As I mentioned, arguments have concluded and I can't see a way to approach the judge to accept this judgment in favor of my case. Is there any way I can file this judgment in the trial court while making judge aware of the facts in it. Is it possible for me file an application just to make court congnizant of this judgment?
Please help with your advise.
Thanks, CC
