Calcutta HC refuses urgent hearing to Abhishek Banerjee's aide Sumit Roy in plea to quash 4 FIRs

In a significant legal development, the Calcutta High Court has turned down the urgent hearing request made by Sumit Roy regarding four newly filed FIRs in West Bengal. Previously, the Supreme Court had intervened to stay Roy's arrest tied to a land-grabbing case, and he successfully obtained anticipatory bail concerning a cash-for-jobs scandal. The court has decided to address his petition during regular proceedings.
