No.

akb 24.01 C.O. 3783 of 2024 Sanjoy Khanna -VersusMiss Debarati Paul Mr. Somnath Gangopadhyay ...For the Petitioner This is an application wherein the petitioner has prayed for expeditious disposal of the Title Suit No. 524 of 2022, pending before the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division) at Barasat.

It is submitted that the defendant herein inducted the plaintiff of the said suit as a licensee and the plaintiff without paying licence fee has filed the instant suit praying for a declaration of his tenancy right in the suit property. It is further submitted that the written statement has already been filed by the petitioner but in spite of that the Court below has fixed next date on 12th September, 2025 for taking steps. In such circumstances, the petitioner has prayed for a direction upon the Court below for expeditious disposal of the suit.

Since the prayer made on behalf of the petitioner is innocuous and if any order is passed in terms of the said prayer, neither party will have any cause to prejudice, service of notice and copy of the application upon the opposite party is dispensed with.

Having considered the facts and circumstances of

the case and also considering the submissions made on behalf of the petitioner I find that the prayer made by the petitioner is justified.

In such view of the matter C.O. 3783 of 2024 is hereby disposed of with a direction upon the Trial Court to make every endeavour for expeditious disposal of the above mentioned Title Suit No. 524 of 2022 pending before the Civil Judge (Junior Division) at Barasat. The Trial Court shall make his best effort to conclude the entire proceeding of the suit preferably within a period of six months from the next date of hearing following as far as possible the directions made in order XVII of the Code of Civil Procedure.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the petitioner, on priority basis on compliance of all requisite formalities.
