[Narada sting case] Calcutta High Court hears case concerning the arrest of four TMC leaders - Day 2 LIVE UPDATES

The Calcutta High Court is hearing the case concerning the arrest of Trinamool Congress party leaders, Firhad Hakim, Subrata Mukherjee, Madan Mitra and Sovan Chatterjee in the Narada Sting case.

The interim bail granted by a lower to the four by a subordinate court on Monday was stayed by the High Court in an evening hearing, the order being pronounced after 10 pm the same day.

The stay was granted after the CBI sought a transfer of the case from the Court dealing with the same, while also citing a threat to the probe agency on the ground that TMC leader and West Bengal Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee and others were sitting in dharna outside the agency's office.

The matter was heard by the High Court Bench of acting Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal and Justice Arijit Banerjee on Wednesday. Whereas the hearing was slated to continue on Thursday, the Bench did not assemble. The hearing in the matter will continue today.
