A report was called for from the Officer-in-Charge of New Market Police Station.

Learned advocate for the State has submitted a report which encloses the statement of Kamalini Kundu Biswas, the de facto complainant of the case being New Market Police Station Case No.91 of 2022 dated 27.04.2022 under Sections 354/323/341 of IPC wherein the de facto

complainant has expressed her decision not to proceed with the instant case.

Having regard to the nature of the allegations, report so submitted and the examination made in the statement before the concerned recording officer, I am of the view that further continuance of the proceedings of New Market Police Station Case No.91 of 2022 dated 27.04.2022 are unwarranted because of the amicable settlement between the parties.

Accordingly, all further proceedings of New Market Police Station Case No.91 of 2022 dated 27.04.2022 including the charge-sheet submitted therein are hereby quashed.

CRR 1391 of 2023 along with CRAN 2 of 2023 is allowed.

Pending application, if any, is consequently disposed of.

All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified copies of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities.
