Sib Sankar Saha And Others v. State Of West Bengal And ANR

C.R.R.4255 of 2023 D/L82 20.03.2024 Bpg.

In Re: An application under Section 401 read with 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973;

Sib Sankar Saha and others

Versus

The State of West Bengal and another Mr. Arka Mahalanabis.

...for the petitioners.

Mr. Debasish Roy, Ld. P.P.

Mr. Arijit Ganguly.

...for the State.

Petitioners are directed to serve a copy of the revisional application upon Mr. Arijit Ganguly, learned advocate, who ordinarily appears on behalf of the State. His appearance may be regularised by the concerned authorities.

The subject matter of the case relates to Naihati Police Station Case No.485 of 2012 dated 12.12.2012. The grievance of the petitioners is that the petitioners have been regularly attending the trial court for more than ten years and till date only one witness has been examined.

Having considered the plight expressed by the petitioners, I am of the opinion that the learned Judicial Magistrate, 3rd Court, Barrackpore, North 24 Parganas on and from the next date would fix one date in every month so that the trial of the case can be taken to its logical conclusion within a reasonable period of time. No unnecessary adjournment be granted to any of the parties and in spite of any resolution of local bar, the proceedings of the

case would continue and the participating advocates will not in any manner stall the proceedings. Learned public prosecutor conducting the case would produce all the materials, documents and exhibits on the date so fixed for examination of the witnesses. All stakeholders would cooperate with the trial court to conclude the trial at the earliest.

With the aforesaid observations, CRR 4255 of 2023 is disposed of.

Pending connected application, if any, is consequently disposed of.

All 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 of all requisite formalities.
