Sunil Kumar Manna v. State Of West Bengal And ANR

22.05.2024 Court No.34 Item.48 CRR/2112/ 2024 (Srimanta) In Re: An application under Section 482 read with Section 483 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

And In the matter of: Sunil Kumar Manna

...Petitioner.

Mr. Dipta Dipak Banerjee ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Debashis Roy, Ld. P.P., Mr. Arijit Ganguly, Ms. Trisha Rakshit ...for the State.

Petitioner is directed to serve the copy of the revisional application upon Mr. Arijit Ganguli, learned Advocate who ordinarily appears on behalf of the State. His appointment be regularized by the concerned authorities.

Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is aggrieved by the manner in which dates are being stretched by the accused under the garb of cross-examination and in the meantime, the accused was also not available and subsequently produced before the Court.

Having considered the fact that the case is of the year 2022 and the learned Magistrate has been diligently following with the earlier direction passed in CRR/424/2022, I direct that efforts be taken so that the process of cross-examination of P.W. 1 be completed by 31.08.2024. Thereafter, all efforts be taken so that the examination in respect of the two other witnesses be completed

by 31.01.2025. Learned Trial Court will thereafter proceed in accordance with law and takes step as early as possible. With the aforesaid observation, CRR/2112/2024 is disposed of.

All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
