Court summons city police commissioner

Kolkata: Calcutta high court on Monday directed Kolkata police commissioner R K Pachnanda to personally appear before it and clarify why he did not follow an order to investigate a case about police failing to produce the case diary during the hearing of an anticipatory bail petition.
The DC (north) investigated the case rather than the commissioner.
Pachnanda has been asked to appear before a division bench of Justice Kalyan Jyoti Sengupta and Justice Joymallya Bagchi on Wednesday. The anticipatory bail petition was filed by CTC driver Chitta Bose, who allegedly ran over a pedestrian on February 20. Bose apprehended arrest and filed for anticipatory bail. His petition came up for hearing on March 5, but had to be adjourned as the case diary was not produced.
