C.R.R.2093 of 2023 D/L70 13.06.2023 Bpg.

In Re: An application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973;

Samsuddin Mondal

Versus

The State of West Bengal Mr. Subhajit Chowdhury.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Anwar Hossain, Mr. Ratna Ghosh.

...for the State.

Learned advocate for the petitioner is directed to serve a copy of the revisional application upon Ms. Ratna Ghosh, learned advocate, who ordinarily appears on behalf of the State. Her appointment may be regularised by the concerned authorities. Petitioner is in custody since April 2022, that is, more than 14 months.

It has been submitted that charge has already been framed in the month of May, 2023 and the next date has been fixed before the learned trial court on 26th June, 2023. It has also been submitted that there are 12 witnesses of whom the prosecution has relied upon to prove its case.

Having regard to the fact that the petitioner is in custody, learned trial court would fix at least two witnesses to be examined on each and every schedule and the schedule be fixed once in every two months 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. The public prosecutor conducting the case must produce all the materials, exhibits and documents available on the date on which the evidence of the witnesses are to be taken. All efforts be taken by the stakeholders for concluding the trial within a reasonable period of time.

With the aforesaid observations, CRR 2093 of 2023 is disposed of.

Pending application, if any, is 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 of all requisite formalities.
