Calcutta High Court Extends Stay on Demolition of Abhishek Banerjee's Office Till August 6
The Calcutta High Court has extended its interim order maintaining the status quo on the demolition of Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee's party office in Amtala, South 24 Parganas, until August 6. The court initially stayed demolition on July 19, citing concerns over lack of notice and opportunity for the owner to respond. The West Bengal government has sought to lift the stay, arguing demolition occurred on a different plot. Banerjee's representatives have challenged the demolition, seeking continued protection.
