12.09.2025 CRR 2144 of 2025 Bd.

Ct. 29 Piyali Saha @ Piyali Sen Vs.

The State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Subhrajyoti Ghosh ... for the petitioner. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner filed a complain before learned Magistrate under section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure with a prayer for starting investigation treating the petitioner's application as FIR in the year 2019 and on the basis of direction made by learned Magistrate Amherst Street Police Station Case No. 233 of 2019 was started and thereafter on 22nd January, 2024 the police submitted charge-sheet against the opposite nos. 2 to 5. Learned court below took cognizance of the offence on 29th January, 2024 but thereafter the trial has not yet been started and as such he has prayed for a direction upon the court below for expeditious disposal of the said proceeding.

Since the prayer made on behalf of the petitioner is innocuous and if allowed the other parties will have no cause to prejudice, the service of copy of application upon the opposite parties is dispensed with.

Having heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and having considered the facts and circumstances of the case I find that the prayer made by the petitioner is justified. In such view of the matter, CRR 2144 of 2025 is hereby disposed of with a direction upon the court below to make charge hearing at the earliest preferably within a period of three months

from the date of this order and if required by splitting the case record in respect of any particular accused.

CRR 2144 of 2025 is accordingly disposed of.

Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities. (Dr. Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee, J.)
