Calcutta High Court Bars Police Action Against Abhishek Banerjee Until August 6
The Calcutta High Court has directed West Bengal Police to refrain from taking coercive action against Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee concerning multiple FIRs registered after the Assembly polls. The interim protection applies to three FIRs at Bhawanipur, Kalitala, and Bishnupur police stations and remains effective until the next hearing on August 6. The court also ordered the police to provide a detailed list of all FIRs against Banerjee. The matter continues amid legal arguments over the maintainability of a consolidated plea.
