Supreme Court judge Justice Aniruddha Bose recused himself from hearing petitions of West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee and state law minister Moloy Ghatak challenging the Calcutta high court order to deny them from filing an affidavit in connection with the 2016 Narada sting case.
According to the report, CM and the law minister wanted to file affidavits to present their version on the CBI’s request to shift the Narada case out of Bengal on grounds of pressure from the state government.
However, the high court said they both did not file affidavits at the right time, “now they cannot be allowed to file the affidavits at their own whims and fancies.”
Earlier, Justice Indira Banerjee had opted out of a separate case related to violence in parts of Bengal after the May 2 state election verdict that gave Banerjee a massive victory.
The Narada case involves a sting operation by a journalist in which several Trinamool leaders were allegedly caught on camera accepting cash in bribe.
