Calcutta High Court: File picture
| TT | Calcutta | 04.03.21 : A division bench of Calcutta High Court, headed by Chief Justice T.B.N Radhakrishnan, on Wednesday admitted a plea by former Trinamul leader of East Midnapore Anisur Rahman, who challenged the legality of the high court order on Tuesday that overturned a Tamluk court verdict acquitting him in a 2019 murder case.
Rahman, acquitted by Tamluk court on Tuesday, was re-arrested within hours when the bench of Justice Sabyasachi Bhattacharyya set aside the order. The division bench will hear the petition on Monday.
Rahman, who had left Trinamul for the BJP in 2018, on Wednesday disassociated himself with the saffron party.
The state government also moved a plea before the division bench of Chief Justice Radhakrishnan to withdraw criminal cases filed in 2007 against 14 Trinamul activists of Nandigram by then Left government. The petition will be heard on Friday.
However, the Chief Justice remarked “decisions to withdraw cases against murder accused are not wise”.
