Justice Partha Sarathi Chatterjee of the Calcutta High Court is facing online threats and abuse after denying bail to social media influencer Sharmistha Panoli, who was arrested for posting a sensitive video. Despite her deletion of the video and apology, the judge’s decision has sparked violent backlash against him online.
The Calcutta High Court will hear a critical case on April 28, 2025, regarding the job termination of approximately 32,000 primary school teachers in West Bengal, whose appointments were canceled by a single judge due to insufficient training. Previous divisions have reassigned the case after varied court responses to its urgency.
