APP Mr. Malay Dhar … for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been foisted with the present criminal case with a vindictive attitude. State has produce the case diary. I have taken into account the statement of the victim as also the assertions made in the FIR.

As the investigation of the case is still in progress, the petitioner shall meet with the Investigating Officer of the case within a period of ten days from date and, thereafter, on all subsequent dates as would be fixed by the Investigating Officer of the case for the sake of investigation till the report in final form is submitted before the learned jurisdictional court. Accordingly, CRM (A) 2895 of 2026 is disposed of. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.) 3
