This query is : Resolved
I am applying for speedy trial and quash petition in Karnataka HC for 498a case going on from last 7 years and wife not appearing at all. Almost 3 years after charges were framed.
I was told by lawyer that quash is not applicable after charges framed.
Can you guide me the right crpc to be used for speedy trial, crpc 256 or crpc 482 or crpc 483 in this case
If I am correct, scope of 482 and 401 of Cr. P. C. do not empower high court to issue direction for speedy disposal. they speak of inherent powers of the high court on criminal side and revisional powers respectively. But in exercise of power of superintendence under 226, the high court can direct the lower court for speedy disposal.

An application u/s 482 can be moved before high court for instructions to lower court for a speedy trial too, the high court has inherent powers to make such orders as may be necessary to give effect to any order under the Cr.p.c. or to prevent abuse of the process of any court or otherwise to secure the ends of justice.
