The Chief Justice DY Chandrachud of the Supreme Court has ordered the removal of two cases related to the appointment of Justice Abhijit Ganguly from the bench regarding the TV interview debate. News of protest marches started coming from various places across the state, starting from job seekers and ordinary people on Friday afternoon.
The people of West Bengal have never seen this kind of procession by different political parties in support of a Judge of the Calcutta High Court.
Congress came down the path with the support of Calcutta High Court Judge Abhijit Ganguly. The demand raised from the unique procession is that Congress is on the side of the fight that Justice Ganguly has promised to fight against corruption.
The Supreme Court has ordered the removal of two cases related to the appointment of Justice Ganguly from the bench of the TV interview debate. Pradesh Congress president Adhir Chowdhury said on Friday that Justice Ganguly has achieved a unique status in the public mind by providing a gateway for job-seekers and ordering investigations against corruption.
That is the source of organizing the procession. However, in the context of the case filed by the Trinamool Congress’s All India General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee, the Supreme Court gave the order, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, the Rajya Sabha member of the Congress elected from this state, was Abhishek’s lawyer, with which the state Congress is very upset. The decision to go down the road to hide that irony is like a section of the political camp.

A procession was held from Rajabazar to Sealdah on the call of the Central Kolkata District Congress on Saturday. Pradesh Congress leader Soumya Aich Roy, Shahina Javed, Tapan Aggarwal, Manas Sarkar, Shadab Khan, Central Kolkata District Congress President Suman Pal, and others were present in the procession.
Such a procession for the judge has never been seen before. Suman’s statement, “So many thieves have never been caught before! We stand by the stand taken by the judge on the legal path for deserving job-seekers and against corruption.”

Asked about the role of lawyer and MP Abhishek, Pradesh Congress spokesperson Soumya said, “As a professional lawyer, he fought the case, that is his decision. However, I do not support his work from the point of view of morality. Our fight against corruption and justice will continue in Bengal.
This time the former ruling party CPIM [Communist Party of India (Marxist)] did, became an example in state politics. They did a protest rally with the photo of Justice Abhijit Ganguly in Durgapur.
Demanding a speedy resolution in the recruitment case, the leftists protested on Saturday morning from the Durgapur station bus stand with Justice Ganguly’s photo. The rally started from the party office near the Durgapur station bus stand and went up to Bankura junction and returned to the station bus stand.
But can a political party march with a picture of a judge like this? Pankaj Roy Sarkar, member of the party’s district secretariat, has given his response on this matter. He complained, “The investigation cannot be slowed down by removing the judge.” Legal action should be taken against those who were constantly threatening the job seekers. Justice Ganguly was speedily investigating the appointment corruption case.Pankaj Roy stated that the court in which the case will go should give a speedy verdict on the case, during the absence of Abhijit Ganguly. It is to be noted that the district CPIM leaders were present in this program on Saturday morning. Police security was beefed up to prevent any untoward incident around the procession.
This is the first time in the history of West Bengal that the 2 political parties Congress and CPIM have organized rallies separately in support of a Judge. The courage and speediness in the judiciary system Abhijit Ganguly has shown in every case handled by him against the criminals that he has become a God to the poor, deprived, and also to the common people of West Bengal.
