Sandip Halder v. The State Of West Bengal And ORS

23.07.2025 W.P.A. 14755 of 2025 Item No.41 Ct. No.35 dc.

Sri Sandip Halder versus The State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Ratan Das ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Suman Sengupta, Mrs. Amrita Panja Moulick ... For the State.

Mr. Sanjib Bandyopadhyay, Mr. Ashok Kumar Singh ... For the Respondent No.4.

Affidavit-of-service filed in Court today be kept with the record.

Petitioner and the private respondent are at loggerhead because of some business disputes. Petitioner claims that the act and action of the private respondent resulted in pecuniary loss to the tune of Rs.40,00,000/- for which he approached the appropriate police station for taking necessary action. However, the police authorities did not take any step.

Learned advocate appearing for the private respondent no.4, on the other hand, submits that already on the basis of information furnished by the private respondent, case has already been registered against the petitioner and the present writ petition has been preferred for the purposes of shielding the criminal case which is pending against the petitioner.

Learned advocate for the petitioner also submits that the petitioner preferred an application

under Section 175(3) of BNSS before the jurisdictional court.

Be that as it may, having regard to the fact that the prayer has been made by the petitioner for not to take any coercive action in connection with Taratala Police Station Case No. 52 of 2025 dated 17.06.2025 and an application under Section 528 of BNSS has been preferred, I am of the view that the petitioner would better be advised to take steps in the revisional application which has been preferred. No interference is made in the present writ petition as already an application for quashing of the proceedings of the same criminal case is pending before a coordinate Bench.

With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition being WPA 14755 of 2025 is disposed of. There will be no order as to costs.

All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
