Abhijit Gangopadhyay: a judge who follows his own style in justice delivery

The Hindu  

“My hands are being tied again and again,” Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay of the Calcutta High Court had appealed to the Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court about a year ago when judgments passed by him in the West Bengal school jobs scam were stayed by the division bench of the Calcutta High Court. What followed was that five different division benches of the Calcutta High Court recused themselves from hearing petitions challenging Justice Gangopadhyay’s order in the school jobs scam. On Friday, the CJI Bench went through the transcript and directed the Calcutta High Court Chief Justice to transfer the case from Justice Gangopadhyay to another judge. After cases relating to the jobs scam were assigned to a different bench, Trinamool leaders took to social media expressing happiness, referring to Justice Gangopadhyay as “comrade” and urging him to join politics.
