Seikh Ikbal And ANR v. State Of West Bengal

Item No.175 05.09.2023 Court. No. 19 GB C.O. 2860 of 2023 Seikh Ikbal & Anr.

Vs.

State of West Bengal Mr. Indra Nath Banerjee, Ms. Shreya Trivedi ... for the Petitioners.

The petitioner prays for expeditious disposal of an application filed under Order 21 Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure, being Land Acquisition Execution No.80 of 2019 arising out of L.A. Case No.7 of 2011, which is pending before the learned Additional District Judge, 3rd Court at Barasat. 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. This Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the application.

Under such circumstances, this Court directs the learned Additional District Judge, 3rd Court at Barasat to dispose of the application within a period of six months from the next date fixed, upon giving adequate opportunity to the opposite party to contest the same.

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.

Petitioners are 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.)
