Chandra Sekhar Dey v. The State Of West Bengal And ORS.

M/L 745 07.08.2025 ct.no.35 Kausik W.P.A. 16790 of 2024 Chandra Sekhar Dey

Versus

The State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Amal Kr. Sen, AAG Ms. Ashima Das (Sil) ...for the State.

Records of the case reflect that the petitioner is aggrieved as in spite of informing the Officer-in-Charge, Mogra Police Station as well as the Superior Officers of Police, no steps were taken and the petitioner was subjected to threat at the behest of the private respondents and their associates.

State has submitted a report. Report reflects that there was a matrimonial dispute existing so far as the case under section 498A of the Indian Penal Code is concerned.

Police authorities on conclusion of investigation submitted charge sheet. So far as the proceedings under section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is concerned, police authorities have hardly any role to play without a specific direction from the learned Magistrate. There was a

statement regarding the money which accumulated in respect of Money Suit No. 12 of 2024.

Having considered that the genesis of the case was amongst the matrimonial relations, I am of the view that police authorities at the relevant point of time took appropriate steps. However, if any of the parties face further inconveniences, police authorities would at the said stage assess the genuinity of the allegations in the complaint and thereafter exercise their discretion to act in accordance with law.

With the aforesaid observations WPA 16790 of 2024 is disposed of.

Report submitted by the State be kept with the record.

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