A single bench of Justice Amit Borkar dismissed the application filed by Mamata Banerjee challenging a sessions court's order of January 2023 remitting the matter back to the magistrate's court for inquiry and on the issue of issuance of summons.
The Bombay High Court today refused to grant any relief to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in a complaint seeking action against her for allegedly disrespecting the national anthem at an event here in 2022.
A single bench of Justice Amit Borkar dismissed the application filed by Mamata Banerjee challenging a sessions court's order of January 2023 remitting the matter back to the magistrate's court for inquiry and on the issue of issuance of summons.
Ms Banerjee in her application said the sessions court, instead of quashing the summons and remitting the matter, ought to have quashed the entire complaint.
Justice Borkar, however, noted there was illegality in the sessions court's order and hence the HC need not interfere.
