Don’t hold up trials without stay order: HC to lower courts

Hindustan Times  

The Punjab and Haryana high court has directed the lower courts in Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh to continue with trial court proceedings unless there is a specific order of stay in the matter in question. The Punjab and Haryana high court has issued “specific directions” to the trial courts to continue with their proceedings unless a stay was granted on the proceedings by any superior court in the case in question. “Despite the fact that there is no stay on the proceedings before the trial court, the petitioners are repeatedly seeking adjournments on the grounds that the present petition for quashing of the FIR is pending before this court,” the bench observed, adding that the court in a number of cases had found that where there were no interim orders interdicting the trial, at the instance of the counsels for either parties, the trial courts were not proceeding with the case for “reasons best known to them” and granting adjournments. The court has now issued “specific directions” to the trial courts to continue with their proceedings unless there was a stay granted on the proceedings by any superior court in the case in question.
