A division Bench of the Calcutta High Court on Thursday informed senior advocate and CPM Rajya Sabha member Bikas Ranjan Bhattacharya that it will take some time to consider the latter’s plea for beginning a contempt of court case against chief minister Mamata Banerjee.
A day earlier, Bhattacharya had approached the Bench of the court’s Chief Justice Prakash Srivastava and Justice Rajarshi Srivastava to the petition against Banerjee over her comments made from a public meeting through which she issued an appeal to the judiciary to consider how those whose services have been terminated can be reinstated.
The Bench then asked Bhattacharya to file an affidavit in the matter before the court by Thursday following which it would decide whether the contempt petition will be allowed or not.
