Supreme Court Rejects Abhishek Banerjee's Plea To Gag Media From Reporting Calcutta HC Hearing In Recruitment Scam Case

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Friday declined Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee's request for a gag order restraining media coverage of the proceedings before a single judge of the Calcutta High Court monitoring the probe into an alleged multi-tier recruitment scam in the state. During today's hearing, Senior Advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan pressed for a 'suspension of reportage', arguing – “Certain remarks are extensively, and if I may add, quite unnecessarily made by the single judge of the Calcutta High Court continually. I am not pressing any of the more adventurous prayers, just this, in terms of the Sahara v. SEBI judgment.” The bench, comprising Justices Sanjiv Khann and SVN Bhatti, however, refused to issue the gag order, with Justice Khanna explaining that the law on the scope of judicial interference in investigations was laid down in several judgments of the Supreme Court. Last week, a bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and SVN Bhatti heard and disposed of Banerjee's special leave petition challenging an October 5 Calcutta High Court order allowing the Directorate of Enforcement to summon MP Abhishek Banerjee, after giving 48 hours' notice, if the disclosure are found to be inadequate after perusing the documents submitted by him.
