It is the case of complete failure of Rule of Law, observes Calcutta High Court; Arrested TMC leaders taken to Presidency jail

Kolkata: In the ongoing investigation in the West Bengal’s Narada scam, Trinamool Congress Ministers Firhad Hakim, Subrata Mukherjee, MLA Madan Mitra and Former Mayor of Kolkata Sovan Chatterjee were taken to Presidency Jail.

As per sources, “Four leaders had been granted the bail from the special CBI court. But later on, CBI moved to the high court citing that the investigation could not be carried on because they are influential.”

While putting a stay on the interim bail given to the four lawmakers by the CBI court, Kolkata High Court observed “The public trust and confidence in the judiciary is more important, it being the last resort. They make have a feeling that it is not rule of law which prevails but is a mob which has the upper hand and especially in the case when it is led by the Chief Minister of the case in the office of CBI and the law minister of state in the court complex”.
