The revisions were heard and judgment was reserved on 05.02.2020. No judgment has been pronounced thereafter and the proceedings have remained in a state of repeated listing and adjournment. Moreover, the case status of these matters reflected that the matters were last listed on 04.02.2026 and were again adjourned. The subsisting stay has, as pleaded, prevented the Trial Court from proceeding, with the result that criminal proceedings arising out of an incident of 30.05.1994 have remained stalled for decades.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">While invoking <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>Article 139A, <\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">the bench noted that the issues raised in the present petition are not limited to the private interest of the parties.

These are questions of substantial and general importance. Article 139A(1) of the Constitution therefore furnishes the constitutional mechanism by which this Court may withdraw the connected criminal revision petitions to itself and decide them, so that the adjudicatory process is not rendered illusory by prolonged pendency and that the mandate of the judgment dated 15.07.2024 is carried to its logical conclusion in an effective and time bound manner.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif; font-size:14pt\">The bench issued a notice and directed that the pending criminal revision applications be withdrawn from the High Court and tagged with the present Writ Petitions for disposal.<\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>Victim&rsquo;s Legal Heir Approaches Supreme Court:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The Writ Petition under Article 32 was filed by the legal heir of the victim, seeking relief under <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>Articles 14 and 21<\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"> in connection with three criminal revision petitions.

The provision enables this Court to withdraw the case or cases pending before the High Court and to dispose of all such cases itself when the questions of law are substantial and of general importance.
