The Calcutta High Court directed Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee to file affidavits in a contempt petition alleging violation of its 2018 order during the TMC’s July 21, 2025 Martyrs’ Day rally. The matter has been listed for hearing on August 17.
The Allahabad High Court has stayed the suspension of Sunil Dutt Sharma, principal of Lala Bapu Baijal Memorial Inter College, who attended a political rally while serving as a polling officer. Justice JJ Munir highlighted that Sharma’s presence at the rally, invited by a temple where he is a devotee, did not constitute active political campaigning.
