There has been speculation Abhijit Ganguly will contest the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls from Bengal's Tamluk constituency on a BJP ticket.
Justice Abhijit Ganguly - who made headlines in April last year after an interview about a case related to a bribery case he was hearing - has resigned as a judge of the Calcutta High Court.
"I am going to meet the Chief Justice (of Calcutta High Court). I had told you that I would hold a press conference here, but it had skipped my mind that prohibitory orders are in place. So I will hold it at my home. Please come at 2 pm. I am going to meet the Chief Justice for a courtesy visit. I have already sent my resignation to the President," he said.
There has been speculation Mr Ganguly will contest the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls from Bengal's Tamluk constituency on a BJP ticket.
