Bengal CM cannot be made a party in PIL on derogatory remarks against Prez Murmu: Calcutta HC

The Calcutta High Court on Monday said that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee cannot be made a party to a PIL filed over derogatory comments made by a member of the cabinet led by her, referring to the looks of President Droupadi Murmu in November last year. “The Chief Minister is in no way related to the matter. There is no justification in making a party in this case. So, her name is deleted as a party in the matter,” the division bench had observed.
