Imran Sk. And ANR. v. State Of West Bengal

C.R.R. 248 of 2021 Court No.

Item 68 ssi In the matter of:- Imran Seakh & anr.

02.02.

Mr. Ashok Kumar Chowdhury ...for the petitioners Mr. Imran Ali Mr. M.F.A. Begg ...for the State This is an application seeking speedy disposal of a proceeding in which a charge-sheet was submitted under Section 21 N.D.P.S Act.

Let a copy of the application be served upon Mr. Imran Ali and Mr. M.F.A. Begg, learned advocates, who are present in court today and who ordinarily appear on behalf of the State. Their engagement may be regularised in due course by the competent authority of the State. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners are the accused in this case. Although the instant case was started in 2019 and the petitioners were arrested on 31.01.2019, till date the trial could not be commenced. The petitioners are in custody since the date of arrest. The impugned proceeding has remained pending for no fault on his part.

I have heard the submissions of the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the petitioners and the

State and have perused the revision petition. No prejudice will be caused to any one, if a direction is passed to expedite the impugned proceeding. It appears that a delay has been occasioned in the conclusion of the proceeding, specifically considering the fact that the petitioners are in custody since 31.01.2019. In view of the above and in the interest of justice, I request the learned trial Court to conclude the proceeding as expeditiously as possible without granting any unnecessary adjournment to any of the parties. With these observations, the revisional application is disposed of.

Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
