IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

CRIMINAL REVISIONAL JURISDICTION APPELLATE SIDE Sl. 149 04.12.2025 Court No.29 Sc CRR 650 OF 2025 -------- Re : An Application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) In the matter of: Sankar Das @ Sarkar Kr. Das ... Petitioner Md. Nauroz Rahber Mr. Amit Ranjan Pati Mr. Muhammad Jawwad Ms. Shahin Parveen Ms. Ilika Nag Md. Kaif.

... For the Petitioner ...For the State Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that on the basis of a letter of complaint dated 23rd August, 2019 the instant proceeding started and after completion of investigation police submitted Charge Sheet on 13th January, 2021 on which date learned court below was pleased to take cognizance against the offence set out in the charge sheet. Since then, the matter is pending for charge hereing and, as such, the petitioner's counsel submit though his client has preferred the instant Application seeking quashment of the entire proceeding but now he prays that a direction may be passed upon the trial court for expeditious disposal of the criminal proceeding since the petitioner is suffering a lot for a considerable period of time for no fault of his own.

Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner it appears that the prayer made by the petitioner is innocuous and if the instant application is disposed of in terms of the prayer made by the petitioner, the opposite party will have no cause to prejudice and, as such, the service of a copy of the application upon the opposite parties is dispensed with.

Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and that the prayer made by the petitioner is justified and required to be allowed for the ends of justice, the trial court is hereby requested to make best endeavour for expeditious disposal of the aforesaid proceeding and to make charge hearing preferably within a period of sixty days from date of communication of this order, if required by spitting the case record in connection with absconding accused person(s), if any. This order is passed invoking this Court's jurisdiction under Section 483 of the Cr.P.C. read with Section 529 of the B.N.S.S. CRR 650 of 2025, thus, stands disposed of.
