#SupremeCourt to shortly hear plea by a Former Indian Police Service officer and @BJP4India leader Bharati Ghosh seeking transfer of all the cases registered against her by the West Bengal police to an independent agency
Ms Ghosh has alleged that after she joined the BJP, ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, 10 First Information Reports or FIRs were registered against her in false cases and after the elections, four more FIRs were lodged.
Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal appears for respondents.
Advocate says this matter was to be specifically listed today.
Justice Lalit: interim protection right?
Adv: It was to be before Justice Ashok Bhushan. Since that bench was not available it has come up here. Since it is urgent it had to be taken up today.
Senior Advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul appears
Justice Lalit: this matter was mentioned by you before Justice Bhushan on March 5. So it was listed before any appropriate bench. Justice Joseph at some time had heard this case.
Justice Lalit: But since #MarathaReservation has been adjourned. Can this be listed before Justice Ashok Bhushan tomorrow?
Matter adjourned to March 9, 2021, to be listed before Justice Ashok Bhushan led bench.
