Hc speedy trial application - timeline

My lawyer had submitted the petition for Quashing (498a) in mid-April in High Court. It's been 2 months and status is still shown as 'pending for admission' in the HC website. As per my lawyer, plan is to pray for speedy trial (which will mostly happen) if quash is not granted.

Any idea on how long does it usually take to get the case admitted and get a decision from HC judge on the petition. What can I do to move my petition forward from its current status in HC.

Thanks in advance.

Normally It won't take much time for a case to get admitted or admission delayed.Speedy Trial also would be granted as i tis one's Constitutional right.Soon your case may get admitted and speedy Trial granted by the court.

It appears that the lawyer is less than professional.

I think your lawyer is corrupted willfully delaying.

Please fire him. You can talk to a HC clerk to enlist at the top on daily cause list and appear party-in-person.

Two questions.

1. After months, HC didnt quash the 498a but passed the order to finish the case in an "EXPEDITED" manner. Any idea on what is meant by expedited - is it 2M , 6M, 1Y... As per my lawyer, it's max 6M and lower court will now give shorter dates and the case should get over in 2-3 months. Any idea ?

2. Opposite party is just now showing up - neither in lower court nor showed up in HC. Any suggestions on what I need to do to have the case verdict shown as false and NOT just mere acquital if opposite party and witnesses dont keep showing up.

Thanks in advance.
