The Calcutta High Court on Monday ordered the initiation of a suo motu public interest litigation on the state of the Maidan, a large green stretch owned by the Army beside the Eastern Command headquarters in the heart of Kolkata, in view of garbage on the grounds and illegal parking on the roads crisscrossing it.
A division bench comprising justices Sanjib Banerjee and Arijit Banerjee directed the Registrar (administrationI) to immediately forward a copy of the order to the GOC-in-C, Eastern Command and to the officer who heads the Bengal Area Command, asking the Additional Solicitor-General to inform the appropriate Army authorities.
