CBI Challenges Partha Chatterjee’s Bail Compliance in SSC Case
The CBI is investigating Partha Chatterjee in a teachers’ recruitment case.
Chatterjee was given bail with several rules to follow.
One rule says he must meet the investigating officer every week.
The CBI says he has not been doing this regularly.
Because of that, the agency asked a Kolkata court to examine the issue.
Chatterjee’s lawyer says he is often unwell and sometimes needs hospital treatment.
The lawyer also says the CBI was told that Chatterjee might appear online instead.
The court will consider the matter at a later hearing.
Chatterjee remains accused, and the allegations have not been finally decided by the court.
The Central Bureau of Investigation accused former West Bengal Education Minister Partha Chatterjee of violating his bail conditions.
The CBI alleged that Chatterjee has not appeared regularly before the investigating officer as required.
Chatterjee’s lawyer cited health problems and said the CBI had been emailed about possible virtual appearances.
His bail conditions include weekly reporting, court attendance, passport surrender, and bans on leaving the jurisdiction or contacting witnesses.
The special court in Kolkata will hear the matter again on September 29.
