Upon hearing the submission made on behalf of the applicant, it appears that the subject criminal proceeding is at the trial stage. Charge sheet has been submitted long back but it has been submitted that charge has not been framed till date. The incident in question took place inside the Court premises on 1st June 2023 between the learned advocate and his client.

2.

The writ petitioner/ applicant Shouvik Ghosh prays for quashing of the criminal proceeding pending before the learned trial Court.

3.

More than two years have elapsed from the date of the incident. Charge sheet also appears to have been filed long back. At this stage, the Court is not inclined to pass any order for quashing of the criminal proceeding. The applicant is relegated to the learned Trial Court for making necessary prayer.

4.

The first sentence of page three that "the petitioner prays for compounding the offences" stands deleted from the order dated 9th July, 2024.

5.

The application for review stands disposed of. 6.

Consequently, the connected application, being CAN 1 of 2024, also stands disposed of.

7.
