Mr. Bhattacharyya, learned advocate appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 33 days. Learned advocate for the State submits that the petitioner did not comply with the notice under Section 41A of the Code of Criminal Procedure and did not cooperate with the investigation and as such he was taken into custody in connection with the instant case.
