Sri Srijeeb Guha Roy v. Smt. Rajoshi Guha Roy(Basu)

Item No. 36 24.08.2023 Court. No. 19 GB C.O. 2143 of 2023 Sri Srijeeb Guha Roy Vs.

Smt. Rajoshi Guha Roy (Basu) Mr. Sarbananda Sanyal ... for the Petitioner.

The petitioner is the husband in Matrimonial Suit No.705 of 2021, which is pending before the learned Additional District Judge, 1st Court, at Serampore, District - Hooghly. The petitioner prays for expeditious disposal of the matrimonial suit.

It is submitted that no application for maintenance pendente lite has been filed by the wife. Thus, the suit may proceed.

Considering the age of the suit, this Court is of the view that the prayer of the petitioner is reasonable. This Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the suit. An order of expeditious disposal enures to the benefit of all the parties and hence this revisional application need not be served upon the opposite party before its disposal. The prayer is innocuous. Under such circumstances, this Court directs the learned Additional District Judge, 1st Court, at Serampore, District - Hooghly to dispose of the suit within a period of one year from the next date fixed, upon giving adequate opportunity to the opposite party to contest the same.

The learned court below shall proceed strictly in accordance with law and independently, without granting unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties. Accordingly, the revisional application is disposed of. Petitioner is directed to serve a copy of the revisional application upon the opposite party, along with a server copy of this order.

However, there will be no order as to costs.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties on priority basis. (Shampa Sarkar, J.)
