Kuntal Ghosh v. Soumi Dutta Ghosh

Item No. 37 31.08.2023 Court. No. 19 GB C.O. 2264 of 2023 Sri Kuntal Ghosh Vs.

Smt. Soumi Dutta Ghosh Mr. Ranojoy Chatterjee, Mr. Tamal Singha Roy ... for the Petitioner.

The petitioner is the husband who prays for expeditious disposal of the Matrimonial Suit No.1020 of 2022, which is pending before the learned Additional District Judge, 16th Court at Alipore.

It is submitted that the wife has not prayed for maintenance pendente lite. It is further submitted that several dates have been fixed for reconciliation, but the chances of reconciliation are remote.

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, 16th Court at Alipore to dispose of the suit within a year from the next date fixed. The learned court below shall proceed 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.)
