16.7.2026 12 sb CRR 2664 of 2026 Smt. Subhra Rani Halder nee Sardar Vs. Shri Subrata Sardar & Anr. Mr. Arnab Mukherjee Mr. Aniket Bhowmick Ms. Madhurima Mukherjee …for the Petitioner In this application, the petitioner herein has prayed for a direction upon the court below for expeditious disposal of the M. Case no. 365 of 2025 along with a further prayer for early disposal of application seeking interim maintenance which are pending before the Learned Judicial Magistrate, Baruipur, South 24 Parganas. Being aggrieved by the inordinate delay in disposal of the said proceeding, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner filed the said application under Section 144 of the BNSS along with interim maintenance prayer on 30th July, 2025. The opposite party no. 2/husband had appeared on 15.9.2025 and sought for an adjournment. Thereafter, on 26.9.2025, the petitioner/wife filed an affidavit in support of the disclosure of assets and liabilities and on 8th January, 2026, the opposite party/husband also filed written objection to the main application but since 30th July, 2025, the petitioner’s prayer for interim maintenance application is pending for disposal. Therefore, he prays for a direction upon the court below for expeditious disposal of the petitioner’s prayer for 2 interim maintenance application as well as the proceeding initiated under Section 144 of the BNSS. 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 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 interim maintenance application is pending for disposal for about one year, 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 2664 of 2026 is hereby disposed of with a direction upon the court below to dispose of the petitioner’s prayer for interim maintenance application on the next date i.e. on 20.8.2026 or within a period of 30 days thereafter. The court below will also make every endeavour for expeditious disposal of the proceeding under Section 144 of the BNSS and will make his best effort to conclude the same preferably within a period of six months thereafter. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Dr. Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee, J.)
