Today, On 19th June, The Calcutta High Court challenged Suvendu Adhikari’s plan for a protest and suggested an alternate venue, aiming to balance the right to protest with maintaining public order. Adhikari’s counsel argued for the protest at Raj Bhavan, but the court directed them to propose an alternative venue by the next hearing on June 21. The court also instructed the Advocate General to address previous violations of prohibitory orders.
Supreme Court Justice P S Narasimha, previously involved in the MGNREGA matter as a lawyer, recused himself from hearing a plea for sufficient funds. The case was to be referred to Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud for a new bench. Swaraj Abhiyan’s plea highlighted the grave crisis faced by MGNREGA workers, seeking adequate funds and compliance with program guidelines.
