This revisional application seeks expeditious disposal of Matrimonial Suit No.153 of 2015 pending before the learned Additional Principal Judge, Family Court, Calcutta. 2. Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the opposite party has been instrumental in dragging the suit by filing successive application praying for alimony pendente lite under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and then withdrawing the same. It is submitted that the application under Section 24 of the Act, 1955 which was filed on November 13, 2025 is the third in line.
