Item No.288 20.12.2023 Court. No. 19 GB C.O. 3737 of 2023 Swapnodipa Biswas nee Ghosh Vs.

Anindya Biswas Mr. Sayak Chakraborti, Mr. Wrickbrata Roy ... for the Petitioner.

By this application, the petitioner seeks expeditious disposal of the Matrimonial Suit No.2341 of 2019, which is pending before the learned Additional District Judge, 5th Court at Alipore.

It is contended by the petitioner that no application is pending disposal. The suit is at the stage of cross-examination of the petitioner.

Considering the submissions, this Court is of the view that the prayer of the petitioner is innocuous. Neither party stands to lose if a proceeding is disposed of expeditiously. In fact, such expeditious disposal shall enure to the benefit of the parties. Hence, there is no requirement for service of prior notice upon the opposite party.

The revisional application is disposed of with a direction upon the learned court below, to dispose of the suit within a period of six months from the next date fixed. Adequate opportunity shall be given to the parties to contest the same.

This court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the suit. The learned court shall proceed independently and in accordance with law.

A copy of the revisional application, along with a server copy of this order be served upon the opposite party and/or the learned advocate contesting the matter on behalf of the opposite party in the learned court below.

The revisional application is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

Parties are to act on the server copy of this order. (Shampa Sarkar, J.)
