How long does a theft case take to settle
12-Feb-2023 (In Criminal Law)
I am the complaint and victim of the Theft case held in 2011.Police has filed the chargesheet against accused but the case is going really slow and we are getting very late dates due to the setting of accused in court.PP is also not responding.It has been already 5 years and till now there is no going forward in the case. Can you please let me know how much time it takes and whom to take the proper advice in the case?
As a victim and complainant you have the right to have your own counsel who can aid the State in a case if you are nit satisfied with the situation and needs to help court in the case. You can also approach the High Court/ Sessions Court for direction to conduct the case in time bound manner. For all the above recourse you need to provide details;
1. Details of the court and jurisdiction
2. Detail of FIR and Chargesheet
3. Order sheet in the case till now.
4. Reasons of adjournments/delays.

Generally the pace and speed of the trial depends upon the number of the witnesses in the case.. the more the witnesses the slower would be the trial because every witness has to be examined and cross examined.
The most you could do is move an application for speedy trial of the case and get the order for fixation of time period for examining the witnesses.

A Criminal Case usually takes time depending upon list of witnesses to be examined from both complainant and accused side and how the court operates in term of Non appearance of witnesses .
After examination of witnesses the final step is of Arguments.
In your case the Chargesheet has already been filed and hopefully stage of argument on charge is also over as it has been 5 years.
We can work on the list of witnesses and press for closing of evidence on non appearance of witnesses or can straight away go to High Court to Quash your case .
For precise answer I would need to see your file.
