Justice Rajnish Bhatnagar also issued notice to the West Bengal government and asked to file its response within four weeks. The respondents — state government, and police may file a rejoinder affidavit 2 weeks after that, the order dated December 7 stated.
"It is a settled proposition of law that the three conditions are required to be established for grant of any interim relief: a strong prima facie case, balance of convenience and irreparable injury to the petitioner. In view of the discussions hereinabove, I find that the present case is a fit case for grant of ad-interim relief." the Court order said, and posted the matter for further hearing on February 18, 2022.
