The Calcutta High Court has admitted a defamation suit filed by Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, for making allegedly defamatory remarks against the governor in light of recent sexual harrasment allegations against him.
A single bench of Justice Krishna Rao admitted the suit for hearing while observing that no defamatory remarks shall be made in the interim period till the suit is heard.
The plea comes in the aftermath of the Chief Minister allegedly making comments against the Governor stating that she had been informed by women that they did not feel safe visiting the Raj Bhavan due to recent allegations of sexual harassment against the governor by a former Raj Bhavan employee.
In response, the Governor reportedly stated that those holding high offices such as the Chief Minister should refrain from making "erroneous and slanderous" comments.
