In case it is not possible for reasons beyond control to complete the process of consideration of charges, within a fortnight from the said date so fixed, the learned trial court would complete the said process of consideration of charges. The learned trial court after consideration of charges, if it is of the opinion that trial of the case should proceed, in that case the learned trial court would fix at least one date in a month for the purposes of the present case being Berhampore Police Station Case No. 531 of 2017 so
that trial of the case can be taken to its logical conclusion within a reasonable period of time.
