This revisional application has been filed by the petitioner seeking expeditious disposal of the proceedings in connection with Sessions Case No. 52 of 2018 The petitioner happens to be the de-facto complainant in such case. 2. It is submitted by the learned advocate for the petitioner that the case being Coochbehar Sadar Kotowali Police Station Case No. 402 of 2017 was initiated on May 18, 2017. The police investigated the case and submitted chargesheet on March 31, 2018. All the 13 accused persons entered appearance in such case on September 17, 2018 before the learned Sessions Judge after the case was committed. The case was fixed on December 24, 2018 for consideration of charge. Since then the case has been fixed on several dates before the learned trial court but charges could not be framed for non-appearance of one or the 2 other accused persons. Subsequently one of the accused Maheswar Roy absconded. His bail bond was cancelled and warrant of arrest was issued against such accused. Such warrant was executed and thereafter the accused persons kept on absconding in turns. Warrant of arrest as well as proclamation and attachment were issued against the accused persons. From the copy of the ordersheet filed with the revisional application goes to show that the case was last fixed on May 19, 2026 when it was posted to June 22, 2026 for execution report of W.P & A. 3. Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the case is still lying in the same status. No execution report with regard to W.P & A was received by the court for which charges could not be framed and in such conspectus, the learned advocate for the petitioner seeks direction upon the learned trial court to expedite the hearing of the case. 4. Having heard the learned advocate for the petitioner and in consideration of the circumstances narrated hereinbefore, it would be appropriate to dispose of the instant revisional application with direction upon the learned trial court to hear and dispose of the Sessions Case No. 52 of 2018 as early as possible preferably within a period of six months from date. 5. No doubt, the learned trial court shall resort to the provisions of Sections 82 and 83 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and 3 take appropriate steps to speed the trial of the absconding accused persons. 6. With the aforesaid observation, CRR 288 of 2026 is disposed of. (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
