After Calcutta HC’s restraint order against West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, her lawyer says will challenge the order

The Hindu  

After the Calcutta High Court restrained West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee from making any defamatory statements against the Governor C.V. Ananda Bose, the lawyer representing the Chief Minister said that she has a right to freedom of speech and was alluding to the apprehensions of numerous women who approached her. Sanjay Basu, the lawyer representing the Chief Minister said the utterances of Ms. Banerjee to the extent they represent rejection of injustice and gender asymmetry, cannot be restrained and the “order of the Hon’ble Court will be challenged”. In an interim order, the High Court had restrained Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and three other Trinamool leaders from making any defamatory statements against the Governor till August 14. Therefore, as the statements made by the Chief Minister have not been found to be defamatory, we believe that the order of general restraint of speech is unfounded,” the lawyer noted.
