Krishna Guha v. State Of West Bengal And ANR

C.R.R.2684 of 2022 D/L27 12.06.2023 Bpg.

In Re: An application under Section 483 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973;

Smt. Krishna Guha

Versus

The State of West Bengal and another Ms. Madhuja Ritwika.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee,Ld.P.P., Ms. Sreyashee Biswas.

...for the State.

Petitioner is directed to serve a copy of the revisional application upon Ms. Sreyashee Biswas, learned advocate, who ordinarily appears on behalf of the State. Her appointment may be regularised by the concerned authorities.

Records reflect that the present case was instituted in the year 2013 and till date only two of the prosecution witnesses have been examined.

Having regard to the slow pace at which the prosecution is progressing, I direct the learned trial court to fix at least one date on each and every 45 days for recording of evidence of the witnesses so that the trial of the case can be taken to its logical conclusion within a reasonable period of time. No unnecessary adjournment should be granted to either of the parties. The public prosecutor conducting the case should make all the materials, exhibits and documents available on the date on which the witnesses arrive for being examined. All stakeholders should co-operate with the

learned trial court so that the trial is concluded within a period of two years from the date of communication of this order. With the aforesaid observations, CRR 2684 of 2022 is disposed of.

Pending 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.
