IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Item No.55 CRIMINAL REVISIONAL JURISDICTION Ct.No.34 dc.

C.R.R. 750 of 2020 with CRAN 1 of 2020 (Old No. CRAN 1008 of 2020) Debabrata Pal versus The State of West Bengal & Anr.

In Re: An Application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, filed for quashing of the proceedings being G.R. Case No. 1288 of 2018 arising out of Goghat Police Station Case No. 292 of 2018 dated 27.12.2018 under Sections 406/376 of the Indian Penal Code. Mr. Arijit Ganguly, Ms. Debjani Sahu ... For the State.

None appears for the petitioner.

Ms. Debjani Sahu, learned advocate appearing for the State has submitted a report prepared by Officer-in-Charge, Goghat Police Station. Let the said report dated 21.02.2022 be kept on record.

The report reflects that recording of evidence of the case has already commenced and examination of CSW-1 has already been completed by the learned trial court and the next date is fixed on 05.04.2022 for examination of CSW-2. The petitioner approached this Court at a stage only when the charge-sheet was submitted. Subsequently there has been substantial progress in the case as charge has already been framed and consequently examination of one of the witnesses has been concluded.

Having regard to the present stage of the sessions trial, I am not inclined to interfere with the proceedings. Accordingly, the revisional application being CRR 750 of 2020 is dismissed.

Interim order, if any, is hereby vacated.

All pending connected applications, if any, are consequently disposed of.

All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
