On completion of 6 months move HC and seek orders to direct trial court to hear case on day to day basis 

- Since, the HC already directs the trial Court to finalize the matter within a period of 6 months then the trial court should comply the same. 

- After completing the 6 months period , you can against approach the HC against the trial Court 

If the trial court is not disposing the case within the time frame instructed by the high court, then you may once again approach high court with a fresh petition narrating the  entire episodes from the beginning in a brief manner and can even seek high court to quash the proceedings based on the inordinate delay and also on merits as well as the dilatory tactics adopted by the defacto complainant. 

You can consult and discuss with your advocate and proceed as advised.

Looks like the trial court is equally slow in expeditious trial of this case.

Any upright presiding officer of such court would have ignored such frivolous petitions and proceeded with the trial.

Madam,

It is really very heartening to know the sad working of court. You are suggested to file the quashing petition citing the reason of inordinate delay among other reasons. 

You can file miscellaneous application in the HC matter to seek directions to the lower court 

Dear client, kindly note the following ,

As the High Court has already directed an expeditious trial within 6 months and there are ongoing delays in view of irrelevant petitions by the de facto complainant, you can move a contempt petition in the HC for non-obedience of its order. Alternatively, you can move a writ petition (e.g., mandamus) in the HC requesting the trial court to conduct the trial strictly within the prescribed time period and to disallow any further frivolous/irrelevant petitions causing delay in the trial. You can also ask the HC to impose costs or penalties on the de facto for abuse of process and wilful delay on their part thereby getting the compensation for the delay. Meet your advocate at once to prepare and file these applications before the 6-month deadline. In the meantime, keep accurate records of every adjournment and non-material petitions filed to aid your cause. Think of getting interim relief for expediting the trial and mental health counselling if necessary.

1. You can file a petition in High Court now without waiting for lapse of six months as given the conduct of complainant case is unlikely to be disposed within six month.
2. You can file contempt petition against complainant as she is trying of disobey the order of High Court by filing irrelevant petitions.
3. You can request the High Court that you are suffering for twenty years and unlikely to get justice from lower Court, there for High Court should call the  records of case and decide the   High Court has such power to conduct trial and pass judgment.

You can move the High Court again immediately (no need to wait for the 6-month deadline) and file a fresh application for strict compliance of its expeditious trial order.

✅ Ask HC to:

• Direct the trial court to conclude the trial within a fixed deadline (e.g., 30 days),

• Bar irrelevant petitions being filed by the de facto complainant,

• Clarify that delay tactics should not be entertained.

📌 File: A petition under Article 227 of the Constitution for supervisory jurisdiction or a contempt petition for non-compliance of earlier HC order.

You may move to Hon'ble High Court once again under Article 227 of the Constitution of India or by filing an appropriate criminal miscellaneous application (section 482 crpc)  bringing to the court’s attention that despite its earlier directions for expeditious trial within six months, the defacto complainant is deliberately abusing process of law by filing irrelevant and belated petitions (such as challenging your 317 CrPC applications from years ago) to delay the proceedings and seek a strict direction to the trial court to proceed with the trial on a day-to-day basis without entertaining further non-trial-related petitions unless absolutely necessary; you should annex a timeline of past dates showing the delay tactics and request the High Court to ensure the trial is completed within a fixed time frame especially considering your old age, prolonged pendency and mental health distress caused by this 20-year-old case.

For any further legal assistance, clarification or to pursue appropriate remedies, please feel free to contact me.

Don’t file any counter case 

it would be separate case altogether 

No case can be filed as a counter case for this reason. 

If you resort to file any other case against her it will impact this case resulting into further inordinate delay in disposal of the present case. 

Hence don't be misguided by such ideas. 

Currently only approaching Hc is good remedy 

Madam,

Try to accomdate the facts of physical and mental harassment in the case which was earlier suggested to be filed i.e. quashing petition. You may also file a contempt petition for the contempt of the previous case. 

Contact Mr Burman or Mr Ganguly from this website 

Best of luck 

There are plenty of advocates in this forum who hail from Kolkata and practice in High court.

You may choose one of your taste and engage the services on the terms of the chosen lawyer.

- No case made out against the Judicial office for delaying the case , except that you can approach the High Court 

- If the case is not finalized within the prescribed period as directed by the high court then you can against approach the high court even for contempt of the Court . 

• Yes, you can immediately move Calcutta High Court again under Article 227 or Contempt Petition to:

  • Ensure strict compliance of expeditious trial order

  • Bar de facto complainant’s delay tactics and irrelevant petitions

  • Direct trial court to conclude trial within fixed time (e.g., 30 days)

• You can also file a separate criminal case (privately or via police) for:

  • Mental harassment, false implication, or criminal intimidation under Sections 211, 500, 506 IPC

  • But this will be a separate case, not part of HC matter

• For an experienced Calcutta HC advocate, consider checking Bar Association listings or ask for personal recommendations from lawyers practicing in Alipore or City Sessions Court.
