The Calcutta High Court has directed the police to refrain from taking any coercive action against Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee until August 6, following a legal petition.
On Thursday, the Calcutta High Court issued an order directing the police to refrain from taking any coercive action against Trinamool Congress Member of Parliament Abhishek Banerjee until August 6.
The directive came after a petition filed by the MP's legal team, which argued that any police action could interfere with his parliamentary duties and pending investigations.
The court noted that the order is temporary and will remain in force until the specified date, after which law enforcement agencies can resume any necessary proceedings.
The decision is expected to influence the ongoing legal scrutiny of the MP, as authorities are required to observe the court's injunction during the interim period.
No further statements were released by the court or the MP's office following the ruling.
