CRR/1939/2026 Nasrima Bibi Vs.

State of West Bengal Mr. Omar Faruk Gazi, Mr. Md. Muslehuddin, Ms. Bidisha Das, Ms. Shaoni Panda ...for the petitioner In this application the petitioner has prayed for a direction upon the Court below for expeditious disposal of Sessions Trial Case No.327 of 2024 by S.T. No.02/January/2025 presently pending before learned Additional Sessions Judge, 4th Court, Behrampore.

Being aggrieved by the inordinate delay caused in disposal of the said proceeding, learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the case was registered on 9th November, 2023 and after completion of investigation police submitted charge-sheet on 06.02.2024 against five accused persons. It is submitted that out of five accused persons, four are still in custody but the Trial Court has not yet conducted charge hearing and for which the complainant/petitioner is suffering a lot.

Having considered the submission made on behalf of the petitioner, I find that the prayer made by the petitioner is innocuous and if it is allowed in terms of the prayer made therein, the opposite parties will have no cause to prejudice and, as such,

service of copy of application upon the opposite party is dispensed with.

Having heard the fact that after filing of the charge-sheet on 06.02.2024, the proceeding of the case has been stalled for about two and half years and also considering the fact that some of the accused persons are detained for custody trial, I find that the prayer made by the petitioner is justified and required to be allowed to secure the ends of justice.

In view of above, CRR 1939 of 2026 is hereby disposed of with a direction upon the Court below to make a date for charge hearing within a period of 30 days from the date of communication of this order and if required, he will split the case record in respect of absconding accused, if any, and, thereafter, if he proceeds for recording evidence after charge-hearing, he will make his best endeavour to conclude the trial at the earliest preferably within a period of six months thereafter.

Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon'ble High Court, Calcutta. ( Dr. Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee, J. )
