Arijit Mukherjee v. Gagari Mukherjee

M/L - 225 29.01.2025 Court. No. 5 S.Kundu C.O. 1777 of 2024 Sri Arijit Mukherjee Vs.

Smt. Gagari Mukherjee Mr. Sibendra Chattopadhya, Ms. Gargi Acharyya ...for the petitioner.

1. The instant revisional application has been filed inter alia, praying for expeditious disposal of the matrimonial suit being No. 116 of 2016 along with Misc. Case No. 01 of 2019 pending before the Court of the learned Additional District Judge, Barasat.

2. Considering the nature of relief sought for, the instant revisional application has been taken up for consideration without prior service of notice on the opposite party.

3. Perused the case records and the order-sheet. Since it transpires that an interlocutory application filed by the wife/opposite party being Misc. Case No. 1 of 2019 which is an application under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 for payment of alimony pendente lite and litigation expenses is pending, I am of the view that at this stage, no order for expeditious disposal of the matrimonial suit can be passed. However, considering the pendency of the interlocutory application since the

year 2019, I am of the view that the learned Court should take steps to expeditiously dispose of such application preferably within a period of three months from the date of communication of this order. Once, all interlocutory applications are disposed of, the learned Judge should make an endeavour to dispose of the matrimonial suit as expeditiously as possible especially having regard to the fact that the same is pending since the year 2016.

4. With the above observations and directions, the revisional application stands disposed of.

5. The petitioner is directed to serve a copy of the revisional application along with this order on the opposite party and to intimate the factum of service on the opposite party before the learned Court.
