Calcutta High Court urged to take action against CM Mamata Banerjee for allegedly saying Court is "sold out"

Senior Advocate and Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI (M)] leader Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya today urged the Bench of Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam and Justice Hiranmay Bhattacharya to strict action against the Chief Minister for her "contemptuous" statements. Unless court becomes strict on this ... I can file an affidavit showing that these are the statements, but kindly take cognisance of this. "High Court has been purchased" (it is said). We do cases before the Hon'ble court after toiling midnight oil ... Now somebody is accusing that judges of High Court and entire High Court has been sold!"

Senior Advocate and Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI (M)] leader Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya today urged the Bench of Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam and Justice Hiranmay Bhattacharya to strict action against the Chief Minister for her "contemptuous" statements.

"I am praying suo motu cognisance be taken. Unless court becomes strict on this ... If I have to file (a criminal contempt) petition, I will have to go through the Advocate General's permission, which will not be granted in any point of time ... I can file an affidavit showing that these are the statements, but kindly take cognisance of this. Otherwise, every court is laughing at us - what is going on! "High Court has been purchased" (it is said). We do cases before the Hon'ble court after toiling midnight oil ... Now somebody is accusing that judges of High Court and entire High Court has been sold!" Bhattacharya submitted.
