W.P.(Crl.) No. 000024 / 2026

The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition filed by 84-year-old widow Satya Wati, who sought expeditious disposal of her Section 482 CrPC petition (for FIR quashing in a matrimonial dispute) pending before the Allahabad High Court. The Court held that directing the High Court would interfere with its Chief Justice's prerogative. However, the petitioner was granted liberty to file an out-of-turn hearing application before the High Court, which was requested to consider it sympathetically given her age and hardship.
