Abhishek Banerjee moves Supreme Court against Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay

Trinamool Congress All India general secretary Abhishek Banerjee has moved the Supreme Court to take action against Calcutta High Court judge Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay for making 'comments' against him (Abhishek). The HC judge's questions about Abhishek Banerjee's property in front of the media have not gone down well with the TMC leaders, sources said.

Kolkata (West Bengal) : Miffed at Calcutta High Court judge Justice Gangopadhyay's purported verbal attacks, Trinamool Congress All India general secretary Abhishek Banerjee has approached the Supreme Court for a respite. Abhishek Banerjee urged the apex court to take action against Justice Gangopadhyay.

The Trinamool MP demanded that a specific bench should be constituted and all recruitment-related cases should be heard there if necessary. In fact, the way Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay is commenting on Abhishek outside the court has embarrassed the TMC leader, sources said. That's why he requested that action be taken against the judge.

The TMC leader is allegedly upset about the manner in which in the recent past, Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay has repeatedly commented on certain pending matters outside the court. In fact, a few days ago, Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay raised questions about Abhishek Banerjee's property. The judge asked in front of the media, what is the source of Abhishek Banerjee's wealth.

Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay commented whether the MP will give an account of his property, or whether he will post the details of his property account on social media. The TMC MP's move against Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay in the Supreme Court is considered a significant decision as per political circles.

This is not the first time Abhishek Banerjee approached the apex court against a particular judge. The TMC cadres are eagerly awaiting to know what order the Supreme Court gives in this petition.
