Re : An application under Sections 401/482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Mr. Naba Kumar Das Mr. Arindam Banerjee Mr. Parvez Mallick ....for the petitioner.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner files a supplementary affidavit. Let the same be kept with the record. Learned advocate for the petitioner draws the attention of this court to the orders passed by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, 16th Court, Calcutta which reflects that the present case was initiated in the year 2012 and is continuing for more than 10 years. Without entering into the zone of fixing responsibility as to who contributed to the delay, I direct the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, 16th Court, Calcutta to fix dates once in a fortnight so that the proceedings can be concluded within a reasonable period of time. No unnecessary adjournments should be granted to either of the parties.

Record of this revisional application reflects that dates have been fixed for argument of the case and the same is continuing since a

considerable period of time. No further adjournments should be granted to either of the parties. All endeavour must be taken by the court to pronounce its judgement as early as possible. With the aforesaid observations, the present revisional application being CRR 39 of 2023 is disposed of. . Pending applications, if any, are consequently disposed of. All concerned parties are to act in terms of a copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this court. [Tirthankar Ghosh, J]
