SC stayed Calcutta High Court’s order refusing to take on record affidavits filed by CM Mamata Banerjee in connection with the Narada case

News Desk: The Supreme Court on Friday stayed a Calcutta High Court order refusing to take on record affidavits filed by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and others in connection with the Narada case.

The court also directed Ms Banerjee – and the Bengal government and Law Minister Moloy Ghatak – to file fresh pleas asking the High Court to reconsider taking the affidavits on record.

The High Court has been asked to decide on the fresh pleas – and accepting the affidavits – at the next scheduled hearing date – June 29.

Today’s order came after Justice Aniruddha Bose, who is from Kolkata, recused himself.

The case was reassigned to Justice Vineet Saran and rescheduled to today; “This is a new case… We have not yet read the file. So let us have it on Friday,” Justice Saran had said.
