A Division Bench of Chief Justice S S Nijjar and Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose observed that the allegations against Chakraborty were general in nature and not specific. The Bench pointed that the petitioner,
Asit Roy, had levelled the allegations against Chakraborty on the basis of newspaper reports. Hence, the Bench could not pass an order and the petition could not be treated as a PIL.
Roy is a social worker and a member of the All India Legal Aid Forum. Appearing on behalf of Roy, advocate Indranath Mukherjee moved the plea that Chakraborty had framed several people in false criminal cases.
“In spite of being in an important position, he had harassed the general public and tortured them. But his superiors had not taken any step against him,” he said. Mukherjee also said that Chakraborty should be transferred and the court should order an investigation into his “illegal” acts.
State counsel Advocate-General Bolai Roy said: “The petition
was not maintainable. So, the question of transferring the OC does not arise.”
After the hearing, Roy said that he will file a petition in Supreme Court challenging the High Court order.
