16.10.2023 Sl. No.60(DL) srm C.O. No. 1928 of 2023 Manas Neogy

Versus

The Member Secretary, District Health & Family Welfare, Samity, Hooghly & Anr.

Mr. Suranjit Ghosh, Mr. Bhaskar Duttagupta ...for the Petitioner.

Despite service, none appears on behalf of the opposite parties. Affidavit of service is taken on record. The petitioner prays for expeditious disposal of the Misc. Case No.39 of 2020, which is pending before the learned District Judge, Hooghly.

The prayer of the petitioner is innocuous. Neither party stands to lose if a proceeding is disposed of expeditiously. In fact, such expeditious disposal shall enure to the benefit of the parties. Hence, there is no requirement for service of prior notice upon the opposite parties.

The revisional application is disposed of with a direction upon the learned court below to dispose of the said misc. case within a period of two months from the next date

fixed. Adequate opportunity shall be granted to the parties to contest the same.

This Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the misc. case. The learned court shall proceed and decide the fate of the misc. case independently and in accordance with law.

A copy of the revisional application along with a server copy of this order be served upon the opposite parties and/or the learned advocate contesting the matter on behalf of the opposite parties in the learned court below, within a week. The revisional application is accordingly disposed of. This direction shall not be construed as an opinion of the court on the maintainability of the pending application or merits of the same.

There will be, however, no order as to costs. Parties are to act on the basis of the server copy of this order.
