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

Nilarnab Mondal

Versus

The State of West Bengal and another Mr. Kaushik Chowdhury.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Suman De Mr. Najmul Touhid.

...for the State.

Petitioner has prayed for expeditious disposal of Bhadreswar Police Station Case No.341 of 2022 dated 05.07.2022 wherein charges have been framed on 18th November, 2023 under Sections 498A/406 of the Indian Penal Code.

The grievance of the petitioner is that the next date has been fixed after 10 months.

In view of the charges being framed and as submitted five witnesses are to be examined in support of the prosecution, I direct the learned trial court to fix at least one date in every 60 days so that the trial of the case can be taken to its logical conclusion within a reasonable period of time. No unnecessary adjournment be granted to any of the parties. In case any witness is not available and there are no satisfactory grounds advanced before the court, the learned trial court would issue notice to the Inspector-in-Charge of Bhadreswar Police Station who would ensure regarding the availability of the witnesses on the next date so fixed. Learned

Public Prosecutor conducting the case would produce all the materials, documents and exhibits on the date so fixed for examination of the witnesses. It is further directed that the trial of the case would continue in spite of any resolution of local bar and the participating advocates will not in any manner stall the proceedings because of such resolution. All stakeholders would cooperate with the trial court to conclude the trial at the earliest. With the aforesaid observations, CRR 1573 of 2024 is disposed of.

Pending connected application, 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. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities.
