This writ petition is filed by the petitioners in the design of Public Interest petition highlighting the custodial death of one Safikul Islam on 21.05.2022 and death of one Ashikul Islam in an alleged encounter on 30.05.2022. It is stated in the petition that after the custodial death of Safikul Islam, the villagers have been threatened and assaulted by the police and their houses have also been demolished. Page No.# 4/4 It is noticed that in relation to the very same incident, this Court has already taken cognizance and has registered a Suo Moto PIL No.3/2022 wherein certain directions have also been issued and One-Man Enquiry report has also been taken into consideration. We are of the view that since a Suo Moto PIL is already registered before this Court in relation to the same incident, wherein certain directions have also been issued and the same is pending consideration, no further order is required to be passed in this PIL and the same is, therefore, disposed of.
