14.08.2026 Sl. No.01. S/L. Mithun. Ct.No.29. CRR/2689/2026 Heraeus Electro-Nite International N.V. Vs. Arrdy Engineering Innovations Private Limited & Ors. Mr. Somopriyo Chowdhury, Mr. S.N. Upadhyay, Mr. Anurag Modi, Ms. Anamika Pandey …for the petitioner Petitioner herein has made an innocuous prayer for expeditious disposal of Complaint Case No.743 of 2021 presently pending before learned Judicial Magistrate, 4th Court, Barrackpore. Being aggrieved by the inordinate delay caused in disposal of the said proceeding, learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the opposite party herein earlier preferred a revisional application being CRR 4690 of 2022 with a prayer for quashment of the proceeding but the said application was dismissed by this Court by an order dated 16th April, 2025 against which the opposite party preferred a Special Leave Petition before the Hon’ble Apex Court which was also turned down by an order dated 20th February, 2026. In spite of the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, the Trial Court is giving indulgence in adjourning the charge hearing in spite of the fact that the evidence before charge has already been completed. He further submits that by an order dated 24th July, 2026, the Court below has fixed next date on 21st 2 January, 2027 for charge hearing. Accordingly, petitioner has prayed for preponing the date as well as further direction upon the Court below to conclude the charge hearing within a specific time limit. 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, service of copy of application upon the opposite party is dispensed with. Having considered submission made on behalf of the petitioner and that the complaint case is pending for charge hearing for a considerable period of time, I find that the prayer made by the petitioner is justified and is required to be allowed to secure the ends of justice. In view of above, CRR 2689 of 2026 is hereby disposed with a direction upon the Court below to prepone the next date of hearing and to fix a date in the Month of September, 2026 and to conclude the charge hearing preferably within a period of 60 days from the preponing date. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta. ( Dr. Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee, J. ) 3
