The written instructions are placed on record by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home. It appears from the written instructions that the present petitioner is allegedly involved in a crime as assistant of accused No.1 of that crime wherein a huge amount of money of Rs.350,00,00,000/- are involved. It further appears that the petitioner has received some money through Mutual Compromise before the Lok Adalath. 3. Having heard the learned counsel for parties, it appears that police must not be restrained to investigate any case but at the same time, the police cannot force any person to deposit any money to any account during the course of investigation of the Crime. If it appears to the police that some money was illegally begotten that money may be freezed in a bank account. 4. In the said circumstances, the police may investigate the offence according to law and may call for the petitioner or any person to the police station for the purpose of investigation. It has been mentioned in the written instructions that nearly five times petitioner was called, but he did not comply 4 the notice. Having taken note of the fact, the police authority is at liberty to take necessary action according to law, to conduct the investigation in free and fair manner, but for that purpose they cannot pressurize any accused or victim to pay any amount of money to any account or to admit any guilt. 5. With the above directions, the instant Writ Petition is disposed of.There is no order as to costs. Consequently, pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________________ JUSTICE SUBHENDU SAMANTA Dated:06.05.2026. sj 5 49 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SUBHENDU SAMANTA WRIT PETITION NO: 5483 of 2026 Dated: 06.05.2026. sj
