The High Court was dealing with a plea seeking the quick disposal of an application to cancel an earlier interim order to suspend the sentence of the accused in a case under the Negotiable Instruments Act.
The application was filed on February 18, 2021. Over the years, it saw multiple adjournments.
The accused took over a year to file a reply, and the sessions court had last listed only the main appeal against the conviction, rather than the application for cancellation of the suspended sentence.
This led to the present plea before the High Court.
