Tying hands of single judge: Calcutta HC's Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay seeks CJI's intervention

India Today  

In an unprecedented order, a Calcutta High Court judge has sought the Chief Justice of India’s intervention after all single-judge bench orders in teaching and non-teaching staff recruitment scam were stayed by the division bench. The single-judge bench of Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay had directed the CBI to probe alleged irregularities in recruitment of teachers and non-teaching staff in government schools in West Bengal. The high court’s division bench led by Justice Harish Tandon granted an interim stay on the order. In light of this, Justice Gangopadhyay has sought the CJI’s intervention and also issued an administrative order in which he questions how the division bench stayed the CBI probe order in the last four cases.
