31.08.2026 Sl. No.860. D/L. Mithun. Ct.No.29. CRR/3555/2026 Dharmendra Sharma Vs. M/s. Danish Sales Mr. Sayan Ray …for the petitioner Leave to amend the prayer in the first page of the application is granted. In this application, the petitioner has prayed for expeditious disposal of the petitioner’s/complainant’s application filed under Section 143A of the Negotiable Instruments Act (in short N.I.Act). Being aggrieved by the inordinate delay caused in disposal of the said application, learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that he being the de facto complainant filed an application under Section 143A of the N.I.Act on 29.08.2024. Said application is pending for disposal for the last 2 years and accordingly he prayed for necessary direction upon the Court below. 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. Having considered submission made on behalf of the petitioner that the application under Section 143A filed by the petitioner is pending for last 2 years, I find that the prayer made by 2 the petitioner is justified and is required to be allowed to secure the ends of justice. In view of above, CRR 3555 of 2026 is hereby disposed of with a direction upon the Court below to dispose of petitioner’s/complainant’s application under Section 143A of the N.I.Act within a period of 60 days from the next date of hearing. 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. )
