The Division bench comprising of Justice C Hari Shankar and Justice Ajay Digpaul was hearing the present matter.

The court in the case rejected the ground in all the above cited cases, and there may be many more for all we know. Thus, the litigation is not fun and games. Nor can the precious time of Court be wasted by blowing the same bugle over and over again. At some point of time, the tune begins to jar.

Adding to it, the court stated that, 'We express our frank unhappiness at the fact that the Government of West Bengal, having failed to convince this Court, on multiple occasions, that the plea of shortage of officers would suffice to justify rejecting the request for ICT, is seeking to re-argue the issue yet again. We deprecate this.'
