Soumya Maitra v. Abhijit Bose

Item No. 34 29.08.2023 Court. No. 19 GB C.O. 2664 of 2023 Sri Soumya Maitra Vs.

Sri Abhijit Bose Mr. T. Ganguly, Mr. A. Basu ... for the Petitioner.

The petitioner is the plaintiff in Title Suit No.72 of 2018, which is pending before the learned Civil Judge (senior Division) at Sealdah. The petitioner prays for expeditious disposal of the title suit.

It is submitted that an application for examination of P.W.1 through commission, is pending.

This Court has neither expressed any opinion on the merits of the suit nor on the merits of the application. An order of expeditious disposal enures to the benefit of all the parties and hence this revisional application need not be served upon the opposite party before its disposal. The prayer is innocuous.

Under such circumstances, this Court directs the learned Civil Judge (senior Division) at Sealdah to dispose of the application within a month from the next date fixed, upon granting an opportunity to the opposite party to contest the same and thereafter the suit shall be concluded and disposed of within a period of six months from closure of evidence. The time period shall be treated as peremptory.

The learned court below shall proceed in accordance with law and independently, without granting unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties.

Accordingly, the revisional application is disposed of. Petitioner is directed to serve a copy of the revisional application upon the opposite party, along with a server copy of this order.

However, there will be no order as to costs.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties on priority basis. (Shampa Sarkar, J.)
