Nandigram poll result: Calcutta HC reserves verdict on Mamata Banerjee's plea seeking judge's recusal

Firstpost  

The CM said Justice Chanda was an active member of the BJP till 2015, and that there could be a bias because election of a BJP candidate is being challenged Kolkata: The Calcutta High Court on Thursday reserved its order on West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s application seeking the recusal of a judge from hearing her petition challenging the election of her BJP rival from Nandigram, Suvendu Adhikari. Banerjee has claimed Justice Chanda was an active member of the BJP till his appointment as Additional Solicitor General in 2015, and since the election of a BJP candidate has been challenged, she apprehended bias in adjudication of the election petition. Quoting Shakespeare, Singhvi submitted: “Honourable judge of this honourable court should be like Caesar’s wife - above suspicion.” Justice Chanda said he was never the convenor of BJP’s legal cell, as claimed, but had represented the party in many cases before the Calcutta High Court. Banerjee claimed in the recusal application that as Suvendu Adhikari is a member of the BJP and the “Hon’ble Judge was an active member of the BJP, will lead to a situation and perception whereby the Hon’ble Judge adjudicating the said election petition, may be said to be judge in his own cause.” Her counsel had also written to the acting chief justice seeking reassignment of her election petition to another bench.
