NDTV
The Calcutta High Court maintained that evidence produced by the Enforcement Directorate is not sufficient to warrant TMC's Abhishek Banerjee's arrest
The Calcutta High Court on Friday granted relief to TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee, directing the Enforcement Directorate (ED) not to take coercive steps against him in connection with its probe into the school jobs scam in West Bengal. The court, however, did not quash the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), equivalent to an FIR, filed by the Enforcement Directorate against Mr Banerjee.
The single bench of Justice Tirthankar Ghosh directed the ED that no coercive steps can be taken against the Trinamool Congress MP based on the ECIR.
The court maintained that evidence produced by the ED is not sufficient to warrant Mr Banerjee's arrest.
