21.09.2026 Sl. No.1021. D/L. Mithun. Ct.No.29. CRR/3905/2026 Smt. Sangita Roy @ Sangita Ray Vs. Abhijit @ Abhijeet Mahanti & Ors. Mr. Shayan Sachin Basu, Mr. Suman Bose …for the petitioner In this application, the petitioner has prayed for appropriate direction upon the Court below for expeditious hearing of the case being G.R. Case No.777 of 2023, presently pending before learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Khatra. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that initially the Investigating Agency submitted final report in the form of closure of investigation. The petitioner herein preferred protest petition against such investigation and upon consideration of the grievance raised by the de facto complainant, the Trial Court was pleased to allow the protest petition filed by the petitioner and directed further investigation into the case. Pursuant to such further investigation, the Investigating Agency submitted a charge-sheet on 12.11.2025. Thereafter, learned Court below issued notice upon the petitioner/de facto complainant but the criminal proceeding has not been proceeded any further since then. Therefore, he prayed for necessary direction. Having heard learned Counsel for the petitioner, it appears that the prayer made by the petitioner is innocuous and if it is 2 allowed in terms of the prayer made in the application, the opposite party will have no cause to prejudice and, as such, the service of copy of application upon the opposite party is dispensed with. Having considered submission made on behalf of the petitioner that since filing of the charge-sheet dated 12.11.2025, the matter has come to a stand still, 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, the instant application being CRR 3905 of 2026 is hereby disposed of with a direction upon the Court below to make every endeavour for expeditious disposal of the above- mentioned G.R. Case No.777 of 2023 and to make his best effort to conclude the entire proceeding preferably within a period of 6(six) months 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. )
