Mamata Banerjee Appears in Calcutta HC as Lawyer in Post-Poll Violence Case
Mamata Banerjee arrives at Calcutta High Court in a lawyer's gown to argue a post-poll violence PIL, signaling a bold legal move amid Bengal politics.
Mamata Banerjee, the Trinamool Congress chief and former chief minister of West Bengal, appeared in Calcutta High Court wearing a lawyer’s gown to argue a post-poll violence Public Interest Litigation.
She arrived at the court in the lawyer’s robe, moving through loud slogans as she prepared to challenge the proceedings in the PIL filed by Shirshanya Bandopadhyay, son of TMC leader Kalyan Bandopadhyay.
According to the petitioner, several TMC leaders and workers were forced to flee their homes after the polls, with many attacked because of their association with the Trinamool Congress.
Meanwhile, the Bar Council of India sought details on advocate status related to the matter, adding a parallel procedural dimension to the ongoing case.
Observ ers say the appearance underscores the political and legal dimensions of Bengal’s post-poll violence issue, with the court likely to weigh the PIL’s allegations and evidence in upcoming hearings.
Further proceedings are expected, and the developments will be watched closely by supporters and critics alike.
