Calcutta HC Refuses Stay on Speaker's Decision, Big Blow to Mamata Camp in TMC Fight
The Calcutta High Court has refused to grant an interim stay on the Assembly Speaker's decision to appoint Ritabrata as the Leader of the Opposition
The Calcutta High Court has refused to grant an interim stay on the Assembly Speaker's decision to appoint Ritabrata as the Leader of the Opposition (LOP). In a major setback to the Mamata Banerjee camp and the Trinamool Congress (TMC), a single bench of the High Court declined the stay requested by Didi loyalist Sovan Dev Chatterjee.
Consequently, Ritabrata continues to serve as the LOP for now. The High Court has sought affidavits from both sides, with the next hearing slated for July 28. This development comes amid an internal conflict in the TMC, with a rebel faction claiming to be the real party.
