Justice Abhijit Ganguly, a colleague of Justice Mantha, who has been in the news for giving a long, freewheeling interview to a television channel, spoke about the issue.
A sitting judge of the Calcutta High Court has spoken out about the protests by several lawyers outside the courtroom of Justice Rajasekhar Mantha and abstaining from appearing before him.
Justice Mantha's order granting blanket protection to Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari has faced legal scrutiny and questions from the ruling party. But, matters took a more serious turn with the posters outside his home and the high court.
Justice Abhijit Ganguly, a colleague of Justice Mantha, who has been in the news for giving a long, freewheeling interview to a television channel, spoke about the issue.
"I will not mention any courtroom, but it is clear to the world that in West Bengal there is an attempt to control the judiciary. There is a section that thinks that by controlling the judiciary they will be able to make them come to terms with them. Yesterday, former judge Ashok Ganguly has said a very important thing. Our judiciary is not so weak that if someone wants, they can control it. This will not be possible and those who are thinking it will happen, are wrong," Justice Abhijit Ganguly said.
