A five-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud, in a special sitting on Saturday, stayed all proceedings in the Calcutta High Court in a medical admissions case which led to a public conflict between two judges of the Calcutta High Court.
The Supreme Court has also stayed the implementation of the orders of Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay, sitting as a Single Judge Bench of the High Court, to transfer the case to the CBI.
The Bench issued notice to West Bengal, the CBI and the petitioner in the High Court. The State government has been allowed to separately file a special leave petition against the orders of Justice Gangopadhyay during the course of the day.
