In Re : RAHUL KERKETTA AND ANR...... petitioner Mr. Kollol Acharjee, Mr. Biswaroop Roy, ....for State.

None appears on behalf of the petitioner nor is any adjournment prayed for even in the second call. The matter has been repeatedly adjourned on 20 December, 2024 and 16 December, 2024 and 5 December, 2024. It is obvious that the petitioner is neither interested nor serious in proceeding with this application and is onlyseeking for an adjournment with ulterior intent to forum shop.

In view of the repeated non-appearance of the petitioner, CRM(DB)/683/2024, stands dismissed for default. The State is represented.
