A criminal case was filed against someone in 2014 in a Sessions court in India. The police filed the chargesheet in January 2015. There have been 15 hearings since then, with the latest one on September 26, 2016. However, the initial hearings only focused on the accused’s appearance. During the 9th hearing, on December 9, 2015, the court issued arrest warrants for the accused. The next day, they appeared in court and the warrants were revoked. The accused filed a petition to quash the charges in the Andhra Pradesh High Court in December 2015, which is still pending. Despite this, the accused’s lawyer claimed to be awaiting a stay order from the High Court, delaying the case further. What legal steps can the victim take to expedite the proceedings?

The victim can file an application in the Sessions Court seeking to expedite the trial and highlighting the delay caused by the accused’s tactics. They can also approach the High Court to expedite the pending petition to quash and argue that the accused’s delay tactics are obstructing justice.
