Ajoy Kumar Pal v. State Of West Bengal And ANR

13.5.2026 sb CRR 1438 of 2025 Ajoy Kumar Pal Vs.

The State of West Bengal & Anr.

Mr. Prabir Adhya Ms. Madhumati Chakraborty ...for the Petitioner Md. Nured Zaman Mr. Sudip Roy ...for the O.P. no. 2 Affidavit of service filed by the petitioner is taken on record.

In this application, the petitioner had made a prayer for a direction upon the court below for expeditious disposal of the interim maintenance application filed by the opposite party herein under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the said application was filed on 17th August, 2021 and the petitioner filed written objection on 1st June, 2022 and thereafter on 17th October, 2022, the petitioner also filed affidavit of assets and liabilities. Since then, the matter is pending for disposal for about five years. Even the opposite party no. 2 could not brought any witness in support of her case and taking adjournments one after another. Therefore, he prayed for necessary direction upon the court below for expeditious disposal of the proceeding.

Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the opposite party, I find that the prayer made by the

petitioner is innocuous and is required to be allowed to secure the ends of justice.

In view of above, the instant application being CRR 1438 of 2025 is hereby disposed of with a direction upon the court below to make its best endeavour for expeditious disposal of the aforesaid maintenance proceeding being Misc. case no. 122 of 2021 and to make his best effort to conclude the hearing of the said proceeding preferably within a period of six months from the next date of hearing without granting any unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties.

Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, duly applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities.
