A division Bench of the Calcutta High Court on May 18 refused to hear an appeal of West Bengal Minister Partha Chatterjee challenging an Order of a single Bench that directed him to appear before the CBI in connection with the School Service Commission's (SSC) appointments scam.
The single Bench of Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay directed Mr. Chatterjee, who was the State Education Minister when the alleged appointments were made, to appear before the Central Bureau of Investigation at its office here before 6 p.m. on Wednesday. He is now the Industry, Commerce and Parliamentary Affairs Minister of the Mamata Banerjee Cabinet.
