Mr. Anubrata Santra ... for the Petitioner.

The petitioner prays for expeditious disposal of Title Suit No. 1246 of 2021, which is pending before the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), 7th Court, Howrah along with all pending applications.

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.

The revisional application is disposed of with a direction upon the learned court to dispose of the applications within four months from the next date fixed. Adequate opportunity shall be granted to the parties to contest the same. Thereafter, the learned court is requested to make a sincere endeavour to dispose of the suit expeditiously, preferably within a year from the date of disposal of the applications.

This court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the applications and the suit. The learned court shall proceed independently and in accordance with law. A copy of the revisional application along with a server copy of this order be served upon the opposite parties and/or the learned advocate contesting the matter on behalf of the opposite parties in the learned court below, within a week.

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.)
