Arrest lacked jurisdiction as it didn’t have Speaker’s sanction, say Cong. legal experts
Legal experts in the Congress party questioned the arrest of Trinamool Ministers by the CBI on Monday. Four people including Ministers Firhad Hakim and Subrata Mukherjee and Trinamool lawmaker Madan Mitra besides former Trinamool leader Sovan Chatterjee were arrested earlier in the day in connection with the Narada sting case where the leaders were seen taking cash on camera. But all were later granted bail by a court. Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, in a series of tweets, called the CBI action as ‘malafide’ and questioned the Governor’s power to sanction instead of the Speaker.
