The Calcutta High Court on Friday stayed the police inquiry against a Raj Bhavan official for allegedly wrongfully restraining a woman who had accused Governor CV Anand Bose of harassment. Justice Amrita Sinha ordered a temporary stay on the investigation till June 17. In response to the order, the governor congratulated the workers and called it a victory of ‘truth over evil’.

Bose wrote in X, the court earlier (rejecting the objections of the state police) granted bail to the Raj Bhavan officials and now the court has almost closed this difficult investigation. Although evil may appear to be victorious at first, truth will prevail in the end.

The court directed the police to submit a report on the investigation conducted so far in the case on June 10. The next hearing in the case will be held on June 10. Officer on Special Duty (OSD) Sandeep Kumar Singh moved the Supreme Court to quash the proceedings and the FIR registered against him.

According to the police, on May 2, an FIR was registered against three policemen, including the OSD, for illegally detaining the woman and not allowing her to leave the Raj Bhavan. The woman accused Bose of harassment on May 2, following which the Kolkata Police began an investigation.

According to Article 361 of the Constitution, criminal proceedings cannot be initiated against a governor during his term of office. Singh and two other accused employees of Raj Bhavan obtained bail from the court of the Metropolitan Magistrate here on May 21. Singh’s lawyer Rajdeep Majumdar argued before Justice Sinha’s court that the allegations were baseless and no case could be registered against them.

Advocate Kishore Dota, appearing on behalf of the state, opposed the petitioner’s claim and said that there is no rush to issue orders to prevent the police from investigating the complaint. He asked for permission to investigate.
