A criminal case was filed againt B on 30.6.2021 u/s 507 IPC. The case was posted on 28.10.2022 in criminal court. A quash petition was filed by advocate of B on 18.4.2022 in High Court. It came for hearing on 13.6.2022 and the Honorable justice gave an order to issue a notice to the respondent and also allowed B to attend for trial only when necessary. The notice was served on respondent but was returned due to door locked. After 13.6.2022 the case has not come on bench so far and also doubt of getting stay or quash before 28.10.2022. can a petition be filed in trial court to postpone trial till quash petition is cleared ??

Quick Summary

A person facing a criminal case filed a quash petition in the High Court. The High Court issued a notice to the respondent and allowed the accused to attend trial only when necessary. However, there is no explicit stay on the lower court's proceedings. The question is whether the trial can be postponed until the quash petition is resolved, as the High Court has not listed the case since June 2022.

A specific quash order from the Hon High Court is necessary to with hold the proceedings of the lower court.

There is no stay on the proceeding of trail, hence service of summons / notice upon the respondent in FIR quashing petition has no relevance/implication in contiuation of trail.
Surprising that the petition has not been listed since 13.06.2022, please recheck / inspect the judicial file yourself or through some reliable, experienced and prudent local lawyer.
