Kolkata: The Calcutta High Court on Thursday admitted a petition filed by a section of lawyers against Mamata Banerjee seeking contempt proceedings against the Chief Minister for her alleged comments against the judiciary on August 14.
While admitting the petition, the court sought a CD containing the footage after reviewing which it would decide on whether to initiate contempt proceedings against her.
Also, it sought affidavits from the media houses which broadcast the video to prove the veracity of the footage in which Mamata is seen making her anti-judiciary remarks.
The HC gave three weeks for submitting the affidavits failing which the court would presume that the reports against the West Bengal CM were wrong.
Banerjee had allegedly commented during a function in the state Assembly that there were instances when court judgements had been delivered for money.
