A judge hearing the Saradha case in Kolkata was almost gheraoed and heckled in court by a section of lawyers who refused to let him pass an order because a fellow lawyer had died and they had stopped work as a mark of respect.
When the judge refused to budge, the lawyers demanded a hearing which the judge refused as he said he merely wanted to correct an error in an earlier order he had already passed. Angry words were exchanged and work came to halt at the court for almost four hours.
The incident took place on Monday in the Alipore court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) Haradhan Mukhopadhyay. The chaos continued for hours and the ACJM finally passed his order around 10:30 pm.
Section 409, which is criminal breach of trust by a public servant and others, gives 90 days time for the filing of chargesheet.
The other charges require a chargesheet to be filed in 60 days which the CBI had not done.
Mr Mitra's bail plea is to be heard tomorrow.
"We will go to a higher court against this order", Mr Chattopadhyay fumed as he left court.
