Government plea was against interim stay order of HC that protected him from ‘coercive action’ by police in criminal cases initiated against him
The Supreme Court on Monday did not intervene in a petition filed by the West Bengal government against an interim stay order of the Calcutta High Court that protected BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari from “coercive action” from the police in several criminal cases initiated against him.
A Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud noted that the Single Judge of the High Court, on September 6, besides staying the probe against Mr. Adhikari, directed the government and the investigating officer to file their affidavits in the case. This was not done, and the State had instead approached the Supreme Court by invoking the top court’s special powers of appeal under Article 136 of the Constitution.
The Bench said it was still open for the State and the investigating officer to file their affidavits in the High Court.
