15.12.2021 Ct. 21 D/L 51 ab C.O. 2045 of 2021 (Via Video Conference) Smt. Susmita Chowdhury (Chandra) -VsSri Kumar Chowdhury Ms. Sayani Ahmed, ... for the petitioner Ms. Sayani Ahmed, 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/ wife by filing the present application under Article 227 of the Constitution of India has prayed for expeditious disposal of the Matrimonial Suit No. 1155 of 2016, pending before the learned Additional District Judge, Barasat, North 24 Parganas.

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 matrimonial 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 Additional District Judge, Barasat, North 24 Parganas is requested to dispose of the Matrimonial Suit No. 1155 of 2016, as expeditiously as possible and in any event, within a period of one year the date of communication of this order, without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties except only on reasonable ground.

Accordingly, the revisional application being C.O. 2045 of 2021 is disposed of.

There shall be no order as to costs.
