Mr. Shibaji Kumar Das, Ms. Rupsa Sreemani ... For the Petitioner.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that in a case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, the present case is pending for a considerable period of time without any progress, although plea (examination under Section 251 of the Code of Criminal Procedure) has been completed.

Accordingly, the learned trial court is directed to fix at least one date in each and every 45 days so that the trial of the case can be taken to its logical conclusion within a reasonable period of time. No unnecessary adjournment should be granted to either of the parties. All efforts should be taken to adhere to the legislative intent as is provided under Section 143(3) of the Negotiable Instruments Act. With the aforesaid observations, the revisional application being CRR 1949 of 2022 is disposed of. All pending connected applications, if any, are 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 with all requisite formalities.
