Calcutta HC grants leave to ED to file contempt petition over W.B. police not giving Shajahan’s custody to CBI

The Calcutta High Court on March 6 granted leave to the ED to file a contempt petition against the West Bengal Government over the State police not handing over custody of suspended TMC leader Shajahan Sheikh to the CBI, despite an order to that effect.

Appearing for the ED, Deputy Solicitor General Dhiraj Trivedi prayed for leave to file the contempt petition and sought an urgent hearing of the matter, claiming that it was losing precious time of Sheikh’s custody to the CBI.
