The Calcutta High Court today restrained West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee from making any defamatory or incorrect statement against Governor CV Ananda Bose, noting the freedom of speech is "not an unfettered right" under which defamatory statements can be made.
"The defendants are restrained from making any defamatory or incorrect statement against the plaintiff (the Governor) by way of publication and on social platforms till 14th August 2024," the court, which will next hear the case on August 14, said.
