Kolkata: The Calcutta High Court today directed BJP West Bengal unit president Dilip Ghosh to produce documents related to his educational qualification in connection with a petition filed by a former party leader.
Petitioner Ashok Sarkar had moved the plea in May last year alleging that Mr Ghosh's claim in his nomination for that Assembly election to have obtained a diploma from Jhargram Polytechnic College was false, and as such his election from the Kharagpur Sadar seat be nullified.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice J Bhattacharya and Justice A Banerjee directed Mr Ghosh to produce documents relating to his qualification a week after the summer vacation.
Mr Ghosh was elected to the West Bengal Assembly in 2016 from Kharagpur Sadar constituency.
