Ms. Suman Sehanabis Ms. Esha Acharya Ms. Ipsita Saha … for the petitioner. Mr. Avrojyoti Das, ld. APP Mr. Atul Dong …for the State. 1. This criminal revision has been filed by the petitioner, alleging inordinate delay and inaction by the learned trial court in concluding the argument and delivering judgment in Sessions Case No. 139 of 2024, even after the conclusion of evidence of D.W. 2. Ms. Suman Sehanabis, learned advocate appearing for the petitioner has submitted with respect to Court’s timely and prompt action till the time the evidence of D.W. was being done. The D.W. was closed vide order dated 20th February, 2026. 3. It is submitted further that since thereafter the Court has granted repeated adjournments and has not proceeded with the argument of the parties and to dispose of the matter by delivering the judgment. In such 2 circumstances, the petitioner sought for an appropriate order for redress of her grievance. 4. State has produced the case diary. 5. Having perused the materials on record and having considered the submissions advanced on behalf of the respective parties, I find that the Sessions Case being No. 179/2024 has been committed to the Court of the learned Sessions Judge, Jalpaiguri and cognizance was taken by the learned Judge on 11th July, 2024. Since thereafter the matter was transmitted to the Court of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track, 1st Court, Jalpaiguri. Trial has also been proceeded upto the stage of evidence of D.W. 6. Since after 20th February, 2026, the Court has not proceeded with the case any further, by allowing the parties for argument and delivering the judgment but instead has allowed repeated adjournments. 7. Under such circumstances, keeping in mind the authoritative directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court with regard to expeditious disposal of the matters, I find it proper to direct the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track, 1st Court, Jalpaiguri, to dispose of the Sessions Case being No. 179/2024, within a period of one month from the date of communication of this order. 3 8. With the above observations, CRR 247 of 2026 stands disposed of. (Rai Chattopadhyay, J.)
