The Calcutta High Court has heavily criticized the conduct of the Central Bureau of Investigation and its Director for failing to file an appeal within the statutory period of limitation. A single bench of Justice Bibhas Ranjan De, in a plea for condonation of delay in filing the special leave to appeal, allowed delayed filing in the interest of justice and held: I am astounded by the conduct of the CBI in such important matters how such delay could take place. It was submitted by the CBI that the delay of four years was due to the fact that the procedure to obtain permission from the higher authority involved a long, bureaucratic process, and that during the COVID lockdown, these actions could not be carried out smoothly, especially because the office of the Additional Solicitor General remained vacant for almost ten months.
