Gouri Mitra v. Siddhartha Mukherjee And ANR

Item No.19 21.03.2024 Court. No. 19 GB C.O. 4436 of 2023 Gouri Mitra Vs.

Siddhartha Mukherjee & Anr.

Mr. Souvik Kundu ... for the Petitioner.

The petitioner prays for expeditious disposal of the Title Suit No.733 of 2022, which is pending before the learned Civil Judge (Senior Division), 1st Court at Alipore, District - 24 Parganas (South).

It is submitted that the written statement has been accepted upon payment of cost. The petitioner submits that no interlocutory applications are pending.

Considering the submissions, this Court is of the view that the prayer of the petitioner is innocuous. Neither party stands to lose if a proceeding is disposed of expeditiously. In fact, such expeditious disposal shall enure to the benefit of the parties. Hence, there is no requirement for service of prior notice upon the opposite parties.

Under such circumstances, the revisional application is disposed of with a direction upon the learned court to make a sincere endeavour to dispose of the suit within a year from the next date fixed. Unnecessary adjournments shall not be granted to any of the parties. Adequate opportunity shall be given to the parties to contest the same.

This court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the suit. The learned court shall proceed independently and in accordance with law.

A copy of the revisional application, along with a server copy of this order be served upon the opposite parties and/or the learned advocate contesting the matter on behalf of the opposite parties in the learned court below.

The revisional application is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

Parties are to act on the server copy of this order. (Shampa Sarkar, J.)
