He directed the CBI authorities to instruct Biswas to arrive at Kolkata by October 20 and be a part of the investigation team in the matter.
Justice Gangopadhyay also said till the completion of the investigation, Biswas should not be transferred out of the agency's Kolkata office.
The Justice also directed the CBI to submit a report on the progress of investigation in the matter after the Durga Puja holidays.
