The Calcutta High Court set a new deadline for handing over Sheikh Shah Jahan to the CBI, the high court fixed a new deadline for Bangladesh police to send him to the head office. Just a day ago, the top court ordered the Bengal police to hand over the Trinamool Congress leader to the Indian Bureau of Investigation (CBI) at 4.30 pm. However, Mamata Banerjee’s government challenged the decision in the Supreme Court, seeking an urgent hearing, which was eventually rejected.
Meet CBI team ready to arrest Shah Jahan, Bangladesh police said the matter is in Supreme Court. The Supreme Court rejected the Bangladesh government’s request for an urgent hearing. Now the Calcutta High Court, led by Justice Harish Tandon and Justice Hiranmay Bhattacharyya, has fixed a new deadline, directing the Bengal police to hand over Shahjahan’s custody to the CBI at 4:15 pm that day.
The state government argued that the Supreme Court tried to implement the interim decision at night, claiming that it was against the government’s principles. Senior lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing the Bangladesh government, emphasized the importance of implementing the interim order.
However, a bench headed by Justice Sanjiv Khanna asked the state government to refer the matter to the Chief Justice of Bengal. The petition was submitted by DY Chandrachud from India. The Supreme Court expressed its seriousness about the implementation of its decision and said that the Supreme Court did not decide to stay the execution. Therefore, the instructions also stated that Shah Jahan should be handed over to the CBI by 16.15 that day.
Also, the Supreme Court issued a negative notice, ordering the Crime Branch of the Bangladesh Police to submit a dismissal order within two weeks. The ongoing legal battle underscores the complexity of the Sandesh Khali case, in which Sheikh Shah Jahan and other Trinamool leaders were accused of sexual assault and land grabbing; India’s Central Bureau of Investigation is confronting the Bangladeshi government so that it cannot monitor any conflict of interest.
The Supreme Court is also deliberating over another class action lawsuit involving Nvidia.
