Kalyan Tripathy And ANR. v. The State Of West Bengal And ORS.
IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA
CONSTITUTIONAL WRIT JURISDICTION APPELLATE SIDE
Present:
The Hon'ble Justice Debangsu Basak And The Hon'ble Justice Md. Shabbar Rashidi W.P.L.R.T. 100 of 2025 Kalyani Tripathy & Anr.
vs.
The State of West Bengal & Ors.
For the Petitioners : Mr. Balailal Sahoo, Mr. Nirmalendu Patra, Mr. Debnarayan Patra For the State : Mr. Soumitra Bandyopadhyay, Sr. Govt.Adv.
Ms. Suchana Banerjee Heard & Judgment on : July 16, 2025 DEBANGSU BASAK, J.:-
1. Writ petitioners seek expeditious disposal of O.A. 1481 of 2023 (LRTT) along with connected application being M.A. 580 of 2023 and M.A. 808 of 2025 pending before the learned Tribunal.
2. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that State is taking one step after the other in respect of the property concerned. Petitioners applied for interim protection before the learned Tribunal. State is not filing affidavits in the original application, but continuing to take steps in respect of the land in
question prejudicial to the interest of the petitioners. Therefore, petitioners were constrained to approach the Tribunal. Neither did the Tribunal dispose of the original application, nor the interim applications. Consequently, writ petitioners are facing prejudice so far as the property in question.
3. State is represented.
4. Learned advocate appearing for the State contends that affidavits stand filed before the learned Tribunal.
5. Be that as it may, the original application is of 2023. There are several orders passed the learned Tribunal. No doubt, the learned Tribunal is proceeding as expeditiously as possible given the number of pending matters before it.
6. We are not minded to interfere at this stage with the proceeding since action taken during the pendency of the proceedings before the Tribunal will obviously abide by the result of such proceeding.
7. W.P.L.R.T. 100 of 2025 is disposed of without any order as to costs. (Debangsu Basak, J.)
8. I agree S.D.
(Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
