Calcutta HC Halts Demolition of Banerjee's Office
Abhishek Banerjee, a leader from the Trinamool Congress party, had his office demolished by the local administration.
He had not responded to notices asking for explanations about the construction of his office.
Banerjee went to the High Court to stop the demolition, and the court ordered a temporary halt to the demolition until further orders.
Banerjee says the demolition was illegal and done by the BJP administration, while the administration says it followed proper procedures.
The court will decide on the matter later.
Banerjee claims the office was built legally, but the administration alleges it was constructed without proper approvals.
The Calcutta High Court ordered a stay on the demolition of Abhishek Banerjee's office in Amtala.
The demolition was carried out by the South 24 Parganas district administration after Banerjee failed to respond to notices.
Banerjee claims the demolition was unlawful and a form of theft by the BJP administration.
Notices were issued on June 30 and July 7, with a deadline for response on July 15.
The High Court directed the state to place all records related to the case before the regular bench for further hearing.
