"Petitioner (Sreyashi Dutt) appeared in person in pursuant to the order dated May 9, 2019. One of us (Justice Aniruddha Bose) has interacted with the petitioner and we are satisfied that the request for withdrawal of the writ petition should be allowed. We order accordingly," the bench said in its order.
The Bench had earlier said that it wants to interact with Sreyashi to ascertain why she wants to withdraw her plea.
Sreyashi said that she wanted to withdraw her petition because she was not in a proper mental condition when she agreed to file the case.
The Bench also directed the state government to pay Rs 25000 to Sreyashi for the expenses which she has incurred in attending the court proceedings.
A 1986-batch IPS officer, Gaurav Dutt was reportedly found with a slit wrist at his home on February 19. Dutt had taken voluntary retirement last year.
