Calcutta High Court Judge Recuses from Sujit Bose Bail Plea over Record Access Attempt
Justice Suvra Ghosh of the Calcutta High Court recused herself from hearing the bail plea of jailed TMC leader Sujit Bose after alleging that one of his lawyers and her private secretary attempted to access case records from the judge's chamber without permission. The judge described their conduct as inappropriate and suggested an oblique motive. The matter will now be reassigned by the acting chief justice. The incident occurred after the hearing was concluded and the verdict reserved.
