…for the petitioner

¶8

The petitioner herein has prayed for necessary direction upon the Court below for expeditious disposal of S.C. 22(02) of 2024 in connection with Namkhana Police Station Case No. 293 of 2022 which is presently pending before the learned Additional District and Sessions Judge, 1^st Court, Kakdwip.

¶9

Being aggrieved by the inordinate delay in disposal of the said proceeding learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, the written complaint was lodged by the opposite party no. 2 herein on 7^th October 2022. After completion of investigation police submitted charge sheet against the petitioner on 18^th November, 2022. Learned Magistrate committed the said Sessions triable case to the Sessions Court on 12^th February, 2024, but since then the case is pending for charge hearing for 2½ years and as such she prayed for passing necessary order.

¶10

Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, it appears that the prayer made by the petitioner is innocuous and if it is allowed in terms of the prayer made therein, the opposite parties will have no cause to prejudice.

¶11

Having considered the fact that the case is stalled for charge hearing for about 2½ years, I find that the prayer made by the petitioner is justified and is required to be allowed to secure the ends of justice.

¶12

¶13

In view of above, the instant application being CRR 2506 of 2026 is hereby disposed of with a direction upon the Court below to make every endevour for expeditious disposal of the aforesaid criminal proceeding being SC 22(02) of 2024 and to make his best efforts to conclude the charge hearing preferably within a period of three months from the next date of hearing.
