The Calcutta High Court has said that the Enforcement Directorate can consider issuing fresh summons to TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee if it is not satisfied with the documents submitted by him in connection with the alleged school jobs scam in West Bengal.
The ED had on October 4 summoned Mr. Banerjee to appear before it in Kolkata on October 9, after he skipped the October 3 summons to participate in a TMC protest rally in New Delhi, demanding immediate release of Central funds due to the State.
Hearing an appeal by the Diamond Harbour MP challenging an order of a single Bench that had directed the ED to ensure the investigation process on October 3 is not hampered, a division Bench said the agency can fix a time limit for Mr. Banerjee to submit documents as required by it.
