In Re : RAKESH ORAON...... petitioner Ms. Aditi Sankar Chakraborty, Mr. Sourav Ganguly, ...... for the State Mr. Kumar Shantanu,` ...... for the defacto complainant.

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. It is obvious that the petitioner is neither interested nor serious in proceeding with this application and has sought for an adjournment with ulterior intent to forum shop.

In view of the repeated non-appearance of the petitioner, CRM(DB)/691/2024 stands dismissed for default. (RAVI KRISHAN KAPUR, J.) (UDAY KUMAR, J.)
