Upon perusal of the status report filed by the Special Superintendent of Police, CID, West Bengal and the Commissioner of Police, Kolkata, the High Court noted that the investigation conducted by the police authorities so far has been satisfactory. However, the Court directed them to submit a further progress report by 15th May, 2023, detailing the actions taken against all individuals involved in defrauding the Government revenue through fake cases filed in the High Court. The High Court emphasized the importance of cooperation and coordination among all Government authorities, including WBGST, CGST, Income Tax, and the Court itself, in supporting the ongoing investigation into the fraudulent activities that caused significant revenue loss to the Government and the High Court. The reports submitted by the police authorities were ordered to be sealed and kept on record. In addition to the current investigation, the police authorities were instructed to explore the extent of the issue by determining the number of fake writ petitions previously filed in the High Court, which may have gone unnoticed before this case came to light. This comprehensive approach aims to address the broader implications of fraudulent activities impacting Government revenue and the integrity of the legal system. The High Court scheduled a special hearing on 15th May, 2023, to monitor the progress of the investigation and ensure timely actions are taken to address the fraudulent practices that have harmed the Government and the judicial process.
