Calcutta High Court Takes Up Four Election Petitions By Trinamool Candidates

Earlier, the court adjourned till June 24 Mamata Banerjee's petition for declaring election of BJP's Suvendu Adhikari from Nandigram null and void.

The Calcutta High Court today took up four election petitions, apart from that of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, by four Trinamool Congress candidates, who lost to BJP nominees in the assembly polls, as per the results declared by the Election Commission. The pleas were heard before four different benches of the high court. Challenging the election of BJP's Biswanath Karak from Goghat, Trinamool candidate Manas Majumdar moved the high court. Justice Suvra Ghosh, noting the presence of the petitioner in person before the court in virtual mode, directed the issuance of notice to the respondents and fixed the matter for hearing on July 9.
