... Petitioner.

Mr. Jisnu Hossain, Ms. Chandrima Debnath ... For the Petitioner.

Md. Anwar Hossain, Ms. Manisha Sharma ... For the State.

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

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for one year eight months and till date charge has not been framed. It has also been submitted that the prosecution in support of its case has relied upon ten witnesses.

In view of the period of detention of the petitioner, I direct the learned trial court to fix a schedule consisting of three dates and fix such schedule once in every 45 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 3485 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.
