Suparna Tudu v. State Of West Bengal And ORS.

19.02.2024 item No.74 Rakib (PA) ct. no. 34 CRR 490 of 2024 Suparna Tudu.

Vs The State of West Bengal & Ors.

In Re: An Application under Section 483 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973;

Mr. Sujay Sarkar, Mr. Prasun Mukherjee.

.... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Debasish Roy, Ld. P.P., Mr. Arijit Ganguly, Ms. Puspita Saha.

.... For the State.

Learned Advocate for the petitioner as well as the State are present.

The grievance of the petitioner is that the case was registered on 4th September, 2021 being Kanksa Police Station case no. 266 of 2021 and the investigating agency on conclusion of investigation submitted charge-sheet on 26th February, 2022. Learned Advocate submits that copies were supplied to the accused persons on 5th January, 2023 but till date after the case was transferred to the learned Judicial Magistrate, 3rd Court, Durgapur, Paschim Bardhaman there has been no progress in the case. It has also been submitted that the prosecution in order to prove its case relied upon seven witnesses.

In view of the agony so expressed by the petitioner, I am of the opinion that the same is justified. Accordingly, I direct the learned Judicial Magistrate, 3rd Court, Durgapur to overcome the

stage of consideration of charges on 20.06.2024 or within a fortnight thereafter.

In case the Court after consideration of charges are of the opinion that the trial of the case should continue, under the same set of circumstances the learned trial Court would fix at least one date in a month so that the 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 concerned. All stakeholders would cooperate with the learned trial Court to conclude the trial at the earliest.

With the aforesaid observations CRR 490 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.)
