Kolkata: A single judge bench of the Calcutta High Court on Monday rejected a plea filed by state minister Partha Chatterjee, who has been arrested by the ED in connection with the multi-crore teacher recruitment scam, for deletion of certain observations made by the same bench on Sunday relating to recruitment irregularities in the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC).
On Sunday, while directing the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to take Chatterjee to AIIMS Bhubaneswar for medical check-up, the single judge bench of Justice Bibek Chaudhuri made an observation that there have been instances wherein influential ministers of the state government had taken 'shelter' at state-run SSKM Medical College and Hospital to avoid questioning by central probe agencies.
