The Congress has moved the high court once again seeking the removal of Sheela Chatterjee as the chairperson of Jhalda Municipality. The widow of Tapan Kandu, Purnima Kandu, has lodged a fresh case at the Calcutta High Court stating that at present the chairperson does not enjoy a majority. Five other councillors have also moved court seeking a fresh mandate and urged the court to direct the Purulia DM to conduct a fresh election.
The Jhalda Municipality board was tied between both Congress and the TMC and later one councillor Tapan Kandu was murdered. The high court ordered a CBI probe and has also intervened several times for board formation. Sheela Chatterjee and a few other councillors joined the TMC a few months back. The case is likely to be heard tomorrow at the court of Justice Amrita Sinha.
