Sunil Kumar Manna ..... petitioner.

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

Since the petitioner seeks a direction for expeditious disposal of Case No.CN-409620 of 2014 pending before the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, 17th Court, Calcutta, the matter may be disposed of without service of notice upon the opposite parties.

Opposite parties shall not be prejudiced if an order for expeditious disposal of the matter is passed in their absence. Expeditious disposal of the matter shall in fact enure to the benefit of both the parties.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

This Court is informed that similar application for expeditious hearing of the case was filed by the petitioner in 2016 and by an order passed on 29th June, 2016 in CRR 2059 of 2016 this Court directed the Trial Court to take all necessary steps to hold the trial following the mandate of Section 143(3) of the Negotiable Instruments Act and to conclude the same at an early date without

granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties. Despite such order, the matter is still pending. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though dates are being fixed for examination of the opposite parties, the witness action cannot be proceeded with since the opposite parties are not appearing before the learned Trial Court.

In view of the above, the revisional application is disposed of directing the learned Trial Court to take all necessary steps, in accordance with law to secure the presence of the opposite parties in the matter and dispose of the matter within six months from the next date of hearing fixed before him without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties. Urgent certified website copy of the order, if applied for, be given to the parties on compliance of requisite formalities.
