On perusal of averment made in the instant revision and having heard the learned Advocate for the petitioner this Court is of the view that
the instant revision can be disposed of here and now with the assistance of the learned Advocate for the state.

Accordingly, Mr. Anand Kesari, learned Advocate is requested to assist this Court on behalf of the state. Appointment of Mr. Anand Kesari learned advocate be regularized by the learned Legal Remembrancer, Government of West Bengal.
4.
It is stated by the learned advocate for the petitioner that the petitioner/accused was the husband of the informant's daughter namely Swapna Biswas. On 17.09.2020 at about 8 pm the informant came to know that the petitioner shot her daughter and was taken to krishnaganj Hospital. On the day of incident, a heated altercation led the petitioner to shoot her daughter on her left hand which resulted in her death. The petitioner was arrested on 23rd September, 2020 and since then he is in custody. After completion of investigation, charge-sheet was submitted on 18.12.2020. After transfer of the case record, a petition for supply of certain documents was filed on 08.03.2021 and the learned trial judge directed prosecution to supply copies on the next date. Several adjournments were taken for production and supply of copies and next date is fixed on 29.08.2022.
5.
Under such circumstances, petitioner has prayed for expeditious disposal of the case.
6.
Trial of this case has not been commenced as yet. Practically, next date is fixed for framing of charge. When charge has not been framed, any direction for expeditious disposal will be infructuous at this stage.
7.
For the reasons stated above, I do not find merits in the instant revision and accordingly the revision is dismissed on contest. However, petitioner is at liberty to come before this court with the same prayer at an appropriate stage.
8.
With the above direction the instant revision is dismissed. (Bibek Chaudhuri, J.)
