8.7.2026 SL-5 sb CRR 4152 of 2025 Hasibur Rahaman Vs. The State of West Bengal & Ors. Mr. Abhinav Rakshit …for the Petitioner In this application, the petitioner has prayed for a direction upon the court below for expeditious disposal of T.R. no. 81 of 2014 in connection with G.R. case no. 720 of 2009, presently pending before the learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Court, Bolpur. Being aggrieved by the inordinate delay in disposal of the said proceeding, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the aforesaid criminal proceeding was initiated on 16.12.2009 and the Investigating agency after completion of investigation, submitted charge-sheet against the present petitioner on 23.7.2011. Thereafter, the charges were framed against the opposite parties after 14 years on 12.6.2025 and since then, more than one year has lapsed but no prosecution witness has been examined as yet. Accordingly, he prayed for passing necessary direction upon the court below for expeditious disposal of the proceeding. 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 therein, the opposite parties will have no cause to prejudice 2 and as such, the service of copy of application upon the opposite parties is hereby dispensed with. Having considered the submissions made on behalf of the petitioner and that the matter is pending for about 17 years, I find that the prayer made by the petitioner is justified and required to be allowed to secure the ends of justice. In view of above, the instant application being CRR 4152 of 2025 is hereby disposed of with a direction upon the court below to make every endeavour for expeditious disposal of T.R. no. 81 of 2014 in connection with G.R. case no. 720 of 2009 and to make his best effort to conclude the entire proceeding preferably within a period of six months from the next date of hearing. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, duly applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities. (Dr. Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee, J.)
