12.06.2026 Serial no. 22 [Srimanta] Ct. No. - 29 CRR 2153 of 2026 In re : An Application under Sections 529 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Sureaksha Sanhita, 2023 -And- In the matter of : KUHELI DAS … … Petitioner Mr. Ujjwal Shil, Mr. Susnigdho Bhattacharyya, Mr. Sarmistha De, Mr. Popi Sarkar, Advocates … … For the Petitioner. 1. Petitioner/wife herein has prayed for a direction upon Court below for expeditious disposal of maintenance proceeding being M-172/2024 under Section 144 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 presently pending before learned Judicial Magistrate, Bangaon, North 24-Parganas. 2. Being aggrieved by the inordinate delay caused in disposal of her prayer, learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner who is a hapless lady made a prayer seeking maintenance under Section 144 of the BNSS on 25.07.2024. Along with the application she also filed one interim maintenance application on the same date which has not been heard till today. Accordingly, she prayed for necessary direction upon the Court below for expeditious disposal of the applications. 2 3. Having heard 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 in the application the opposite party will have no cause to prejudice and as such service of copy of application upon the opposite party is dispensed with. 4. Having considered the submissions made by learned Counsel for the petitioner and that the prayer for interim maintenance is pending for two years, I find that the prayer made by the petitioner is justified and required to be allowed to secure the ends of justice. 5. Having considered submission made on behalf of the petitioner, the instant application being CRR/2153/2026 is hereby disposed of with a direction upon the Court below to dispose of petitioner’s prayer for interim maintenance within a period of 30 days from the next date of hearing and thereafter he will make his best effort to conclude the main proceeding at the earliest without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.
