During the hearing that took place at Suti in Murshidabad district, the single-judge bench of Justice Biswajit Basuobserved that despite the court evincing faith on the CID, no progress has been made in the probe so far.
Justice Basu especially expressed ire over the members of the special investigation team (SIT) constituted by the court for probing the matter.
“How could the members of the SIT constituted by the court be changed at anyone’s whims,” Justice Basu questioned.
He also reminded that the court had ordered CID probe after dismissing the appeal for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in this matter.
“Do you want to prove the court wrong? How can the accused still continue to receive salaries? Are you waiting for someone to come and handover the relevant documents to you? Please stop carrying out an investigation on paper,” Justice Basu was heard telling the investigation officer in the case.
He then gave seven days’ time to the CID to make definite progress in the investigation by arresting the accused persons.
“If there is no progress in the probe process, it will not take much time to handover the investigation to a different agency,” Justice Basu said.
