The Court was hearing petitions concerning the school jobs for cash scam. Meanwhile, DSG Billwadal Bhattacharyya, for the CBI, submitted a report stating that the corruption in the scam was huge.
The mainstream media operating in traditional and digital spheres, has portrayed the petitioner and her husband as though they are proven guilty persons, the petition highlights.
The division bench led by Justice Soumen Sen also asked single-judge Justice Amrita Sinha not to make any observations that could prejudice Banerjee's case in the matter.
Single-judge Justice Amrita Sinha pulled up the ED for not properly investigating the school jobs for cash scam case, particularly the involvement of Banerjee in the scam.
The ED told the Calcutta High Court that it does not intend to use the 16 files downloaded from the computer of a firm linked to Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee as evidence in any probe against him.
