CRR/3992/2025 Dipankar Saha Vs.

The State of West Bengal & Anr.

Mr. Amit Karmakar ...for the petitioner This is an application wherein petitioner has prayed for expeditious disposal of G.R. Case No.7270 of 2013 presently pending before the learned Judicial Magistrate, 4th Court at Barrackpore.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the FIR of this case was lodged on 1st October, 2013 and after completion of investigation, police submitted charge-sheet on 31st December, 2013. Long thereafter the charge was framed against the sole accused/petitioner on 23rd February, 2017 but till today not a single witness has been examined. Though the petitioner/accused was attending Court but the witnesses of the prosecution never turned up and as such the case is dragging due to the lackadaisical attitude on the part of the prosecution. Having heard learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, I find that if the prayer made on behalf of the petitioner is allowed, the opposite party will have no cause to prejudice and as such service of copy of application upon the opposite party is dispensed with.

Having heard learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and also considering long pendency of the instant proceeding which has been initiated under Sections 341/323/506 against sole accused, I find that the prayer made on behalf of the petitioner is justified and required to be allowed for the ends of the justice.

In such view of the matter, CRR 3992 of 2025 is hereby disposed of with a direction upon the Court below to make every endeavour for expeditious disposal of the instant proceeding and to make his best effort to conclude the trial preferably within a period of 6 months from the next date of hearing.

Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon'ble High Court, Calcutta. ( Dr. Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee, J. )
