27.07.2026 Serial no. 645 [Srimanta] Ct. No. - 29 CRR 1680 of 2026 In re : An Application under Sections 483 read with Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 529 read with Section528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Sureaksha Sanhita, 2023 -And- In the matter of : M/S. M.A. OIL PACKAGING & HANDLING PRIVAE LIMITED … … Petitioner Mr. Sumit Ray, Mr. Santanu Talukdar, Mr. Sailen Naskar,, Advocates … … For the Petitioner. 1. In this application, the petitioner has prayed for a direction upon the Court below for expeditious disposal of Case No. AC-2370/2023 presently pending before learned Judicial Magistrate, 5th Court, Alipore. 2. Being aggrieved by the inordinate delay caused in disposal of the said proceeding, learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner initiated the aforesaid proceeding on 21st August, 2023 and the Trial Court after examining the complainant under Section 200 of the Code of Criminal Procedure had issued process on 2nd December, 2024. Since then several dates were fixed by the Court below for appearance of the accused/opposite party herein but the proceeding has got stalled and the next date is fixed 2 on 17th November, 2026. Therefore, petitioner prays for appropriate direction upon the Court below for expeditious disposal of the said proceeding. 3. 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 in the application the opposite party will have no cause to prejudice and as such service of copy of application upon the opposite party is dispensed with. 4. Having heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and that after issuance of process by the Court below on 2nd December, 2024 the said case has not progressed any further in spite of the fact that the Statute has prescribed a time limit for early disposal of the said case, I find that the prayer made by the petitioner is justified and required to be allowed to secure the ends of justice. 5. In view of above, the instant proceeding being CRR/1680/2026 is hereby disposed of with a direction upon the Court below to make every endeavour for expeditious disposal of the proceeding being Case No. AC-2370 of 2023 presently pending before learned Judicial Magistrate, 5th Court, Alipore and to make his best effort to conclude the entire proceeding within a period of six months from the next date of hearing. 3 6. All parties are to act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of the Calcutta High Court. (Dr. Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee, J.)
