Anil Agrawal (Querist) 21 June 2009 This query is : Resolved
Can a cheque bouncing case go on in the magistrate's court for 9 years without a single hearing? Is going to H.C. the only remedy?

It so happens, because there may be a lot of backlog in disposing off cases. Actually, there are directions that criminal cases ought to be completed soon, within the stipulated time, which may not be possible practically.

However, you can surely approach the HC for direction to the Hon'ble Magistrate to speed up the hearings.

I agree with my friends

Accused can file a petition under section 482 of Crpc (inherent powers of HIGH COURT). Complainant can seek direction to immediate disposal of the matter.In almost all the magistrate courts cheque cases are piling .To curtail the misusing of this section by the swinders and unregistered money lenders and to give a helping hand to the poor debtors I think it is better to make cheque case as civil case only.
