Calcutta High Court

The Calcutta High Court on Friday again came down heavily on the West Bengal government over the RG Kar Medical College Hospital rape and murder incident, and transferred the case of vandalism in the hospital to the CBI.

On 9th August, a semi-nude body of a female PG trainee doctor was found inside the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. It is a government-run hospital.

Earlier, Governor Bose approached the High Court against CM Mamata Banerjee’s remark where she said that women no longer felt safe to enter the Raj Bhavan in West Bengal

Dismissing Singhvi's submission, the bench directed that “all” cases related to Sandeshkhali will be probed by the CBI. Justice Gavai pulled the West Bengal government and observed, “You don't do anything for months…” 

While ordering the release of a man arrested for criticising the Mamata Banerjee govt in the comment section of a Facebook live video, the Calcutta High Court on 27th June said that the arrest was an absolute excess action on the part of the police

In the interim order, the Calcutta High Court said, “The election ensures the majority opinion of the citizen of the country and its faith and allegiance to a political party to administer and maintain the various facets of the people for their betterment and development, which goes without saying that there is no space for any violence in a democratic polity.”

Alleging that the state police controlled the central forces throughout the polling process, Suvendu Adhikari asserted that false voting had ruined BJP's chances in several constituencies in West Bengal.

If the state fails to control this violence, we have to make a decision that in the next five years, the Central forces will stay in this state,” the court noted.

PM Modi had previously described the Calcutta High Court verdict as an eye-opener for the country.
