Live LawThe Calcutta High Court has directed the State’s Crime Investigation Department to conduct a probe into Dr Sunanda Goenka, principal of Jogesh Chandra Chaudhuri Law College in a plea by an erstwhile General Secretary of the College’s Students Union complaining of offences of financial impropriety, forgery, etc. Today, Justice Gangopadhyay directed a CID probe into Goenka upon noting that the police’s anti-fraud unit which had investigated the allegations earlier, had failed to do so properly. It ordered: I find that the Anti-Fraud Section has failed to investigate the matter properly and, therefore I direct the Criminal Investigation Department of this State to start investigation of the matter forthwith and to interrogate Smt. Petitioners submitted that the final report dated 2022, was filed by the Anti-fraud section of the detective department, and that a notice under Section 41A of the CrPC had been served upon accused Sunanda Goenka.
