Mr. Debasish Roy, ld PP Mr. Rudradipta Nandy, ld. APP Mr. S. Bhakat ......for the State.

Affidavit of service so filed on behalf of the petitioner be kept with the record.

The present revisional application has been preferred by the petitioner who has been implicated in connection with the instant case under Section 14 of the Foreigners Act, Section 17 of the Citizenship Act and Sections 81/82 of the Registration Act. The case is pending before the learned Judicial Magistrate, 5th court, Krishnagar, Nadia.

Learned advocate submits that the petitioner is unable to get any service in spite of being successful in number of examinations because of the pendency of the criminal case. The case is Krishnagar Police Station Case No. 194 of 2022 which was registered on 05.06.2022 and the Investigating Agency has already submitted chargesheet in the year 2022.

Having considered the fact that the chargesheet has already

been submitted and the documents under Section 207 Cr.PC are yet to be supplied, I direct that the prosecution and the learned Judicial Magistrate to take steps so that the copies on which the prosecution intends to rely are served on the next date so fixed or within a fortnight thereafter. The learned Judicial Magistrate will thereafter fix a date within a month for consideration of charges and if after consideration of charges, the learned trial court is of the opinion that the trial is to be proceeded with, in that case a schedule be fixed by the learned trial court at least of three dates and fix a schedule once in every month so that the trial of the case can be taken to its logical conclusion within a reasonable period of time.

No unnecessary adjournments be granted to either of the parties.

The public prosecutor conducting the trial would produce exhibits, materials and documents on the dates so fixed for examination of the witness concerned.

All efforts be taken by the stake-holders to conclude the trial at the earliest.

With the aforesaid observations, the revisional application being CRR 1890 of 2023 is disposed of.

Pending applications, if any, are disposed of accordingly. All concerned parties are to act in terms of a copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this court. [Tirthankar Ghosh, J]
