HC adjourns Nandigram case by three weeks

Our Legal Correspondent

Kolkata March 26 A Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court comprising
the Chief Justice, Mr S.S. Nijjar, and Mr Justice P.C. Ghose on Monday
adjourned the Nandigram violence case for three weeks. While doing so,
the court observed that after considering the affidavits filed by 11
parties in the case, it will consider paving an appropriate order.

One of the counsel sought for further CBI investigations at Nandigram
but the court did not pass any order based on this.

The court, however, directed the CBI to keep the collected evidence
reserved in a sealed cover, to be used when the court requires it.

Another advocate sought the court's order directing the State Government
to produce the suggestions made by the Centre to the State on the
Nandigram situation.

Earlier, on March 15, the court on its own, following the public
interest litigation, directed the CBI to investigate the Nandigram
massacre and also directed the State Government to file an affidavit
stating why such an incident happened.

On March 22, the CBI filed the report related to their investigations to
the court.
