Item No.7 02.04.2024 Court. No. 19 GB C.O. 2054 of 2023 Baijnath Jaiswal @ Baijanath Jaiswal Vs.

Shriram Transport Finance Co. Ltd. & Ors.

Mr. Pradeep Kumar, Mr. Subhamoy Patra, Mr. Jetinder Das ... for the Petitioner.

By this application, the petitioner seeks expeditious disposal of the Title Suit No.1841 of 2022, which is pending before the learned Judge, 12th Bench, City Civil Court at Calcutta.

Considering the submissions, this Court is of the view that 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.

Under such circumstances, the revisional application is disposed of with a direction upon the learned court to make a sincere endeavour to dispose of the suit within a year from the next date fixed. Adequate opportunity shall be given to the parties to contest the same.

This court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the suit. The learned court shall proceed independently and in accordance with law and the maintainability of the same. The revisional application is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

Parties are to act on the server copy of this order. (Shampa Sarkar, J.)
