Priyanka Dey (Ghosh ) v. State Of West Bengal And ORS.

6.4.2022 sb CRR 796 of 2021 In the matter of : Priyanka Dey (Ghosh) .......Petitioner Mr. Devajyoti Barman Ms. Sanjukta Basu Mallick .......for the Petitioner This is an application seeking an expeditious disposal of the proceedings under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner is the aggrieved wife who had initiated a proceeding under the provision of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. Yet, till date even her initial evidence could not be recorded. On several occasions, the respondent therein had prayed for adjournments. The matter shall remain pending as no fault of the present petitioner.

I have heard the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner and have perused the revision petition. No prejudice will be caused to anyone if a direction is passed to expedite the proceedings.

It appears that an inordinate delay has taken place in concluding the proceeding. As it was initiated in the year 2015, the proceeding should have positively been concluded by now. In view of the above and in the interest of justice, I request the learned trial Court to conclude the proceeding as early as

possible without granting any unnecessary adjournments to the parties, preferably within a year from the next date of hearing. With the aforesaid observations, this 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.
