behalf of the applicant-petitioners, they approached this Court
12:58:47 IST
Reason:
through SLP(Crl.) No.12964/2024. The said petition was, however,
not pressed on merits, with liberty to move the High Court for
2expeditious disposal of the above-mentioned application-cum-
petition.
2. The instant miscellaneous application has been filed in the
disposed of special leave petition, inter alia, pointing out that
the matter was listed before the High Court on 23.10.2024, but it
was adjourned without any effective hearing to 18.12.2024. It is
stated that no hearing could take place on 18.12.2024 also and the
matter has been adjourned to January, 2025 without fixing any date.
In this backdrop, the applicant-petitioners seek appropriate
direction.
3. Having heard Dr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi, learned senior counsel
for the applicant-petitioners, and keeping in view the fact that
the application under Section 482 bearing No.28882/2024 is still
pending before the High Court, we dispose of this miscellaneous
application with a direction to the Registrar General of the
Allahabad High Court to put up this order before Hon’ble Chief
Justice of the High Court and obtain appropriate administrative
order with a date for hearing fixed in the opening week of January,
2025, with a further request to the learned Presiding Judge of the
bench to take up the matter expeditiously.
4. It is clarified that we have not expressed any opinion on the
merits of the case.
5. The Miscellaneous Application is, accordingly, disposed of.
6. All pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.
