Calcutta High Court Halts Demolition of Abhishek Banerjee’s Office

The Calcutta High Court today issued an interim order directing that the demolition of Abhishek Banerjee’s office be halted pending a final decision. The office, located in the heart of Kolkata, had been earmarked for removal by municipal authorities as part of a redevelopment plan. The court cited an ongoing legal dispute over the property and ordered a stay on any demolition activity until the matter is resolved. The order is expected to pause the demolition work while the court reviews the case in detail. The decision comes amid growing concerns over the use of eminent domain in the city.
