Court Stops Mamata Banerjee from Speaking Against Governor CV Ananda Bose
The Calcutta High Court has issued an order preventing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee from making derogatory statements against Governor CV Ananda Bose. This follows a defamation suit filed by the Governor. The court emphasized that the Governor, as a Constitutional Authority, should not face personal attacks. The case will be heard again on August 14.
Meanwhile, a woman staff member of the West Bengal Raj Bhawan, who alleged sexual harassment by Governor CV Ananda Bose, has approached the Supreme Court. She is challenging the immunity granted to the Governor under Article 361 of the Constitution. She has asked the court to decide if such immunity should cover allegations of sexual harassment and molestation.
