New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday abruptly halted a
hearing on Gorkha Janmukti Morcha leader Bimal Gurung, irked by the
behaviour of Bengal government advocate Kalyan Banerjee.
"We have
told you earlier also that we don't like such kind of behaviour. We
will not hear the matter today," a bench of Justices A.K. Sikri and
Ashok Bhushan said and adjourned the matter to the second week of
January.
The bench, hearing a state government plea for recall of
an earlier order prohibiting coercive action against Gurung, was upset
as Banerjee tried to oppose some submissions by senior advocate P.S.
Patwalia, who appeared for Gurung.
Banerjee expressed regret but the bench refused to relent and adjourned the matter.
"I was just trying to bring to the court's attention something
important pertaining to the case," Banerjee, also a Trinamul MP, told The Telegraph later.
CBI petition
The
CBI said on Monday that it would file a petition in the high court
challenging a city trial court's order that had discharged Gorkha
Janmukti Morcha president Bimal Gurung in the Madan Tamang murder case.
The
decision was conveyed to the high court by a CBI counsel during the
hearing of a petition by Tamang's wife Bharati against the trial court's
order.
Justice Debiprasad De asked the CBI to file the plea and
said the hearing would take place by clubbing the two petitions
together.
