In Re: An application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 read with Article 227 of the Constitution of India filed in connection with Basirhat Police Station Case No.113/2019 dated 17.10.2019 under Section 21(c)/29 of the NDPS Act, 1985; Saharup Gazi @ Saharuk Gazi

Versus

The State of West Bengal Mr. Soujanya Bandyopadhyay.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Md. Anwar Hossain, Mr. Mirza Firoj Ahmed Begg.

...for the State.

The petitioner has expressed his anxiety as he has been detained for a consideration period of time since October 17, 2019. Learned advocate submits that charge has already been framed and number of witnesses have been examined. Mr. Beg, learned advocate, who ordinarily appears on behalf of the State, is directed to appear in this matter to assist the Court. His appointment may be regularised by the concerned authorities.

Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the next date has been fixed on 23rd February, 2022.

In view of the long detention of the petitioner, which is more than 26 months, I direct the learned special court to fix at least three dates on each and every month on and from next date so

fixed and take the trial to its logical conclusion within a reasonable period of time. No unnecessary adjournment should be granted to either of the parties and schedule/date should be fixed only after the public prosecutor conducting the case assures the court regarding the availability of the witnesses.

With the aforesaid observations, CRR 2543 of 2021 is disposed of.

All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
