Tarik Aziz @ Tarif Aziz

Versus

The State of West Bengal Ms. Shabana Hasin Mr. M. Hossain.

...for the petitioner.

Ms. Trina Mitra.

...for the State.

Report submitted by Ms. Trina Mitra, learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. Report reflects that charge has been framed on 16th November, 2023 and the next date has been fixed on 20th December, 2023 for fixing schedule date of trial. Records reflect that the petitioner was arrested on 25th April, 2022 and till date he is in custody. The prosecution in order to prove its case has relied upon 9 witnesses. In view of the petitioner being in custody for about one year and eight months, I direct the learned trial court to fix a schedule of three dates and fix such schedule once in every 45 days so that the trial of the case can be taken to its logical conclusion within a very reasonable period of time.

No unnecessary adjournment be granted to any of the parties. In case any witness is absent, the learned trial court would communicate with the Superintendent of Police of the concerned

District for availability of the witnesses concerned. If the office of the Superintendent of Police is unable to trace out the witness, a compliance report be submitted before the learned special court at the earliest. The learned public prosecutor conducting the case would produce the materials, exhibits and documents on the date so fixed for examination of the witnesses concerned.

All stakeholders would cooperate with the learned trial court to conclude the trial at the earliest.

With the aforesaid observations, CRR 2393 of 2023 is disposed of.

Pending connected 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.
