The Supreme Court has refused to entertain the BJP’s plea against a Calcutta High Court order restraining it from publishing certain advertisements which the Trinamool Congress had said were derogatory and violated the Model Code of Conduct, LiveLaw reported.
A bench of Justices JK Maheshwari and KV Viswanathan refused to interfere with the order. “We have seen the advertisements. Prima facie, the advertisements are disparaging. You can say you are the best..but....we don’t want to lend our hands to promote further acrimony,” Justice Viswanathan said, according to LiveLaw, after the BJP’s counsel said the ads were based on facts.
