New Delhi, Oct. 17 -- A petition seeking contempt proceedings to be initiated against West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee was withdrawn from the Supreme Court on Thursday as the Attorney General refused to grant consent - a precondition for filing such a plea.
The court then allowed the petition, filed by a charitable trust, to be withdrawn. The organisation had accused the TMC supremo of contempt of court for her utterances made against the SC judgment cancelling the recruitment of over 25,000 teachers in state schools over allegations of fraud and manipulation in the selection process.P4
