Xxx v. State Of West Bengal And ORS.

2.12.2025 SB CRR 3503 of 2025 XXX Vs.

The State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Md. Karim Warsi Mr. Md. Arif Ansari Mr. Md. Rahim Waris ...for the Petitioner This is an application wherein the petitioner has prayed for a direction upon the Trial court for expeditious disposal of the Special case no. 147 of 2022, presently pending before the learned Special Judge-cum-learned Additional Sessions Judge, 2nd Court, Alipore.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the case was instituted on 25th May, 2022 and thereafter, the chargesheet was submitted against four accused persons on 14th September, 2022. Thereafter, the Trial court is fixing the date one after another for supply of copy and appearance of the four accused persons but neither the copy has been served upon the accused persons as yet nor the charge has been framed and the next date is fixed on 11th December, 2025. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, it appears that the prayer made by the petitioner is innocuous and if it is allowed in terms of the prayer made therein, the opposite parties will have no cause to prejudice and therefore the service of copy of application upon the opposite parties is hereby dispensed with.

Having considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner that the case is pending for trial for a considerable period of time, I find that the prayer made by the petitioner is justified and required to be allowed for the ends of justice.

In such view of the matter, CRR 3503 of 2025 is hereby disposed of with a direction upon the court below to make every endeavour for expeditious disposal of the case and to make best effort to serve copy under Section 207 of the Code of Criminal Procedure upon the accused persons or their authorized representatives, preferably within a period of 30 days from the next date of hearing and the court below is further requested to make charge hearing preferably within a period of 60 days thereafter and for that purpose record may be splitted in respect of absconding accused, if any. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, duly applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities.
