In Re: An Application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973;

Mr. Debangan Bhattacharya, Mr. Deva Nand Mishra, Mr. Prashant Kumar Singh, Mr. Mahiul Islam .... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Arijit Gnguly, Mr. Asraf Mondal.

.... For the State.

Petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that the present case being Shakespeare Sarani Police Station case no. 135 was registered for investigation on 30.04.2014 and since then same is continuing and till date out of the four witnesses cited by the prosecution only two of the witnesses have been partly examined.

Mr. Ganguly, learned Advocate appears on behalf of the State.

I have considered the submissions advanced on behalf of the petitioner and I direct that in case cross-examination of a particular witness has been continuing the learned Trial Court on 9th April, 2024 will continue with the cross-examination of the said witness and will fix at least one date on every month for the purpose of the present case so that trial of the case can be taken to its logical conclusion within a reasonable period of time.

No unnecessary adjournment should be granted to either of the parties. The learned Public Prosecutor conducting the case would produce materials, exhibits and documents on the date so fixed for examination of witnesses. All efforts be taken by the stakeholders to conclude the trial at the earliest. With the aforesaid observations CRR 488 of 2024 is disposed of.

Pending applications, if any, is consequently disposed of. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
