WPA No.26183 of 2025
Piyarul Shiekh Versus The State of West Bengal & Ors.
Mr. Ankan Das Mr. Indrajit Rai. …for the petitioner.
1. The grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner lodged a complaint which led to registration of Raghunathganj P.S. FIR No.1449 of 2024 dated 10.11.2024 for investigation into the offences punishable under Sections 420/467/468/120B of the Indian Penal Code.
2. The petitioner submits that, despite passage of about two years, the investigation of the case is not complete. The petitioner, therefore, prays that the instant writ petition may be disposed of by directing the police authority to expedite the investigation of the case.
3. It appears that considerable period of time has passed since registration of FIR. The dispute which forms the subject matter of the case is commercial in nature.
