Won't Allow Political Arguments During Hearing: Court Tells Bengal, Centre
NDTV
Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for West Bengal, argued that once the state had withdrawn its consent on November 16, 2018, the Centre can't allow the probe agency to enter the state for investigation.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it will not allow either the Centre or the West Bengal government to raise any political issue during the arguments on the state's lawsuit which alleged that the CBI is going ahead with its investigations despite withdrawal of general consent by the state.
A bench of Justices B R Gavai and Sandeep Mehta said it was only deciding a legal issue and the court will not permit either of the parties to make political arguments.
The bench reserved its verdict on the maintainability of the suit filed by the state government.
