IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA CRIMINAL REVISIONAL JURISDICTION APPELLATE SIDE A. 508 13.7.2026 Court No.29 Sc CRR 2525 OF 2026 -------- Re : An Application under Sections 401 read with Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure corresponding to Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS). In the matter of: Tapati Das (Mondal) … Petitioner Adv. Santanu Kumar Mitra Adv. Samrat Paul Adv. Amartya Pal. … For the Petitioner In this application the petitioner has prayed for expeditious disposal of the petitioner’s application, filed under Section 127(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, seeking enhancement of the maintenance amount. 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 party will have no cause to prejudice, as such, service of a copy of the application upon the opposite party is dispensed with. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and that the application under Section 127(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure is pending since 24th August, 2017, i.e., for about nine years, I find that the prayer made by the petitioner is justified and required to be allowed to secure the ends of justice. 2 In view of the above, the instant application being CRR 2525 of 2026 is hereby disposed of with a direction upon the Court below or the Court-in-Charge of the Court below to dispose of the petitioner’s application under Section 127(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 24th August, 2017 within a period of thirty days from the next date of hearing.
