05.12.2023 item No.328 Rakib (PA) ct. no. 34

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

CRIMINAL REVISIONAL JURISDICTION APPELLATE SIDE CRR 4539 of 2023 Hasanur Islam.

Vs The State of West Bengal.

In Re: An Application under Section 483 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973;

Mr. Tapodip Gupta, Mr. Suman Bhanja.

.... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Koushik Kundu.

.... For the State.

Petitioner is directed to serve a copy of the revisional application upon Mr. Koushik Kundu, learned Advocate who ordinarily appears for the State. His appointment may be regularized by the concerned authorities.

Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner in custody in connection with Domkal Police Station case no. 363/2020 dated 14.07.2020 for a period of 3 years and till date out of the 14 witnesses so cited by the prosecution only 9 witnesses has been examined.

In view of the anxiety expressed by the petitioner, I am of the view the same is justified.

Accordingly the learned trial Court is directed to take steps by fixing a schedule consisting of three dates and fix such schedule of three dates once in every 20 days so that the trial of the case can

be taken to its logical conclusion within a reasonable period of time. No unnecessary adjournment should be granted to either of the parties. In case any witness is reluctant to appear the Superintendent of Police of concerned district would be informed so that the availability of the witness would be ensured on the next date so fixed.

The learned Public Prosecutor conducting the case would produce materials, exhibits on the date so fixed for examination of witnesses. All stakeholders would cooperate with the learned trial Court to conclude the trial at the earliest.

With the aforesaid observations CRR 4539 of 2023 is disposed of.

Pending 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. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
