The Calcutta High Court has ruled in favor of Trinamool Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee by setting aside a notice issued to his office by the West Bengal Fire and Emergency Services Department. The court observed that the communication from the state agency lacked legal sustainability.
The dispute arose when the fire department served a formal requisition requiring compliance from the office of the Diamond Harbour parliamentarian. The notice was subsequently challenged in the high court on the grounds that it was arbitrary and issued without adhering to established administrative and legal protocols.
During the proceedings, the bench evaluated the submissions and agreed that the notice failed to meet statutory standards. By quashing the directive, the court underscored the necessity for government departments to maintain legal rigor and follow proper procedure when issuing notices to public or private establishments.
