Parties must cooperate with expeditious disposal

The Supreme Court directed the petitioners to cooperate. The direction concerned the expeditious disposal of the case. The petitioners were required to appear before the trial court. The charges were to be read over on that day. Bail conditions would be set by the jurisdictional court. These steps sought to move the remaining case forward efficiently. Cooperation was an express part of the relief granted. The petition was disposed of with these directions. Smt. Shalini Bhateja & Anr. v. The State of U.P. & Ors. | 2026 INSC 28
