The Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, was allowed to visit Sandeshkhali on Tuesday at the intervention of the Calcutta High Court.
The BJP leader had been stopped by the police from visiting the area on two occasions earlier this month, after protests broke out there over allegations of sexual assault and land grab by local Trinamool Congress leaders.
While Justice Kaushik Chanda of the High Court allowed him to visit the strife-torn area on Monday, the State government approached the Division Bench of Chief Justice T.S. Sivagnanam and Justice Hiranymay Bhattacharya against the order on Tuesday.
