Supreme Court Directs Calcutta High Court to Hear Abhishek Banerjee's Plea Against Media Trial
The Supreme Court granted relief to Lok Sabha MP Abhishek Banerjee by directing the Calcutta High Court to consider his plea against media trials linked to ongoing investigations. Banerjee alleges that investigating agencies leaked confidential details to the media, damaging his reputation and potentially influencing probes. The Calcutta High Court will hear the matter after reopening on November 16, allowing Banerjee to seek interim relief. His legal team emphasized the presumption of innocence and raised concerns over selective leaks affecting his rights.
