A three-judge special bench of the Calcutta High Court on Tuesday directed that no meetings, processions or placards be allowed at any place inside the court premises and anywhere outside it till it is seized of the issues involving contempt of court proceedings over protests outside Justice Rajasekhar Mantha's court.
