17.12.2021 Ct. 21 D/L 90 ab C.O. 1954 of 2021 (Via Video Conference) Subrata Das -VsPulin Behari Pal Mr. Animesh Mukherjee, ... for the petitioner Mr. Animesh Mukherjee, learned advocate for the petitioner is present.

Record shows that the notice of this application has not been served on the opposite party.

The petitioner by filing the present application under Article 227 of the Constitution of India has prayed for expeditious disposal of the Title Suit No. 54 of 2001, pending before the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), 2nd Court, Hooghly.

The learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the learned Court below has been granting unnecessary adjournments and due to which, there is a delay in disposal of the case and such delay is causing hardship to the petitioner.

Having regard to the nature of relief claimed by the petitioner, being a prayer for expeditious disposal of the title suit, I do not find any need to serve notice of the present application on the opposite party and it is not likely to cause any prejudice to the interest of the opposite party. Therefore, service of notice upon the opposite party is dispensed with.

The learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), 2nd Court, Hooghly, is requested to dispose of the Title Suit No. 54 of 2001, as expeditiously as possible and in any event, within a period of six months from the date of communication of this order on priority basis since the said suit is pending for the last 20 years.

Accordingly, the revisional application being C.O. 1954 of 2021 is disposed of.

There shall be no order as to costs.

Parties are to 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 given to the parties, upon compliance of all formalities.
