Quick Summary: The court dismissed the civil revision petition filed by Bethel Prayer House because they didn't have the necessary documents and there were issues with organizing the pages. Justice Moushumi Bhattacharya was in charge of the case.

Bethel Prayer House vs. G Hepsiba and Others

In this case, Bethel Prayer House, represented by its Secretary Paka Shubhakar, along with other people, went against several others, including G Hepsiba. The people from Bethel Prayer House were mostly involved in church activities, while the others had different jobs.

Missing Documents and Delays

The group led by Mr. D. Madhava Rao faced a big problem. They didn't have the needed dates and reports to show that the Trial Court was slow in handling their application. This was a major issue because:

"The petitioner does not have the necessary dates and Status Report to show delay on the part of the Trial Court in disposing the petitioner’s I.A."

Pagination Problems

Another technical issue was that the Civil Revision Petition wasn't organized with page numbers. This might seem small but is important for legal documents to be properly organized and reviewed.

Court's Decision

Justice Moushumi Bhattacharya decided to dismiss the petition. However, the petitioners were given an option:

"The petitioner shall be at liberty to file appropriate application for expedition of proceedings before the Trial Court, as prayed for."

This means they can still try to speed up the process in the Trial Court by filing the right application.

No Extra Costs

The court also said that there would be no extra costs for the petitioners in this dismissal. This is a small relief for them as they work through the legal process.

What's Next?

For the petitioners, the next step involves filing a new application to speed up the proceedings in the Trial Court. This dismissal isn't the end, but it means they need to get their paperwork in order for future actions.
