’Contempt of court’: TMC MP Abhishek takes a dig at CBI’s hand-delivered summon

Live Mint  

Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee has ben summoned by the Central Bureau of Investigation in the West Bengal Teacher Recruitment Scam case, only hours after the Supreme court of India stayed an Calcutta High Court order regarding the investigative agencies, CBI and Enforcement Directorate questioning the TMC leader. A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala, which decided to hear the plea on April 24, had stayed the direction of Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay of the High Court that TMC leader Banerjee and Kuntal Ghosh, an accused in the case, can be questioned by the ED and the CBI, and such "interrogation should be made soon." The Calcutta High Court on April 13 had passed a slew of directions, asking the police not to lodge FIRs on complaints against officers of the CBI or the ED who are investigating the educational recruitment scam of the West Bengal Central School Service Commission and the West Bengal Board of Primary Education without its permission. The apex court also stayed the order of Justice Gangopadhyay's April 13 order directing the West Bengal police not to lodge any FIR against CBI and Enforcement Directorate officers probing the school jobs-for-bribes scam.
