Criminal Revisional Jurisdiction 31-07-2023 Subha Item no.26 Ct no.34 CRR 4325 of 2022 Mukesh Bansal -versus- The State of West Bengal & Anr.
Mr. Krishendu Bera Ms. Debolina Chakraborty ....for the petitioner.
Petitioner has challenged the order dated 01.11.2022 passed by the learned Chief Judge in charge, City Sessions Court, Calcutta in connection with Criminal Revision Case No. 192 of 2022.
The subject matter of the said revisional application related to the order dated 18.08.2022 passed by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, 6th Court, Calcutta in connection with CS/3964 of 2022. By the said order in a proceeding under Sections 138/141 of the N. I. Act, learned Magistrate directed to deposit interim compensation of Rs.2,00,000/- being 10% of the cheque amount as interim compensation under Section 143A of the N. I Act.
Having regard to the manner in which both the learned trial court and the 1st revisional court has dealt with the matter, I do not find any reason to interfere with the same.
Petitioner is directed to deposit Rs.2,00,000/- by 31st August, 2023 and comply with the order dated 18.08.2022 passed by the
learned Metropolitan Magistrate, 6th Court, Calcutta. Learned advocate submits that there has been no progress in the trial of the case. Accordingly, learned Magistrate, 6th Court, Calcutta on and from the next date would fix at least one date in a month for the purpose of trial/evidence of CS 3964 of 2022 so that the trial can be concluded within a reasonable period of time. No unnecessary adjournments should be granted to either of the parties. All efforts be taken for concluding the trial of the case at the earliest.
With the aforesaid observations, the revisional application being CRR 4325 of 2022 is disposed of.
Pending applications, if any, are consequently disposed of. All concerned parties are to act in terms of a copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this court. [Tirthankar Ghosh, J]
