... Petitioner.

Ms. Shabana Hasin, Mr. Mobaidur Hossain ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Tanmay Kumar Ghosh, Ms. Sujata Das ... For the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner is directed to serve a copy of this revisional application upon Ms. Sujata Das, learned advocate, who ordinarily appears for the State. Her appointment may be regularised by the concerned authorities.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioners is in custody since 14.02.2022. The learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that on conclusion of investigation, charge-sheet has been submitted and 13 witnesses have been relied upon by the prosecution to prove its case. It has been informed that the next date has been fixed on 05.10.2023 for consideration of charges. Having regard to the plight expressed by the petitioners, I direct that the learned trial court would, on the next date so fixed i.e. on 05.10.2023, complete the process of consideration of charges or within a fortnight thereafter. After completion of the said process of consideration of charges, the learned trial court would from the month of December 2023 fix a schedule consisting of three dates and fix such schedule at least once in every 75 days so that trial of the

case can be taken to its logical conclusion within a reasonable period of time. No unnecessary adjournment should be granted to either of the parties.

In case any witness is absent on the date so fixed, the learned trial court would communicate with the Superintendent of Police of the concerned district for ensuring the presence of the witnesses.

Learned public prosecutor conducting the case would ensure regarding the production of materials, documents and exhibits on the dates so fixed for examination of the witnesses.

All stakeholders would cooperate with the learned trial court to conclude the trial at the earliest.

With the aforesaid observations, the revisional application being CRR 3081 of 2023 is disposed of. Pending connected application, if any, is consequently disposed of.

All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
