Calcutta High Court on Thursday adjourned hearing in the Narada case till August 16.
The five-judge bench headed by acting Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal is hearing the case related to the arrest of two ministers, an MLA and a former mayor by the CBI on May 17 and affidavits filed by chief minister Mamata Banerjee and law minister Malay Ghatak.
The CBI has accused the chief minister of creating disturbance in the investigation on the day of the arrest. The law minister has been charged with trying to influence the lower court hearing the bail plea of the arrested leaders. Both Mamata and Ghatak filed affidavits contesting the charges of the CBI.
When the case came up for hearing on Thursday, counsels for Mamata and Ghatak said they would be busy with legislative affairs and sought the adjournment of the hearing. The bench granted their prayers and adjourned the hearing till August 16.
