The Calcutta High Court on Thursday temporarily restrained the West Bengal Police from taking any coercive action against Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee in three first information reports registered against him, Live Law reported.
The court also directed the state to provide a complete list of first information reports registered against Banerjee, Live Law reported.
His counsel said 11 FIRs had been filed against the TMC leader, including cases that were registered after Banerjee filed the petition.
Banerjee’s lawyer argued that the complaints were delayed and politically motivated, Live Law reported.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the state, objected to Banerjee filing a single petition seeking relief against multiple FIRs, Live Law reported.
