Supreme Court Disturbed By Calcutta High Court Incident
The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it was “disturbed” by what transpired in the Calcutta High Court during hearings linked to the Enforcement Directorate’s case involving West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The apex court described the incident as serious and said such developments inside a constitutional court were a matter of concern.
Background Of The Dispute
The issue arose during proceedings connected to the ED’s investigation and related legal challenges involving the Trinamool Congress leadership. The central agency has alleged obstruction and procedural difficulties during its actions, while the state government and party leaders have denied wrongdoing and accused central agencies of political targeting.
What The Supreme Court Said
The Supreme Court indicated it would examine the sequence of events that led to the disruption in the High Court. It stressed the need to maintain institutional discipline and dignity in court proceedings and said appropriate steps would be considered after reviewing the facts.
Matter To Remain Under Watch
The case is expected to continue under judicial scrutiny, with further hearings likely as both sides present their arguments on the conduct and legal issues involved.
