Mamata Banerjee Named in FIR Over Alleged Violation of Calcutta High Court Orders

Mamata Banerjee has been named in a suo motu FIR registered at Hastings Police Station in Kolkata following allegations of violation of directions issued by the Calcutta High Court during a Trinamool Congress (TMC) programme.

The case relates to a party event organised on Cathedral Road to mark the foundation day of the Trinamool Chhatra Parishad (TMCP). Police alleged that conditions imposed by the High Court for conducting the programme were not complied with, resulting in disruption to traffic movement in the area.

The allegations and the FIR are subject to investigation.

FIR Registered at Hastings Police Station
According to the information provided by the police, Hastings Police Station registered a suo motu case following the alleged violation of the Calcutta High Court's directions.

The case was registered after allegations that multiple conditions laid down by the court for the TMC programme were not followed.

The police have cited the alleged non-compliance with the court's directions as the basis for the case involving Mamata Banerjee.

Further investigation is underway to establish the circumstances surrounding the alleged violations.
What Were the Calcutta High Court's Directions?
The Calcutta High Court had imposed certain conditions for the TMC programme at Cathedral Road.

One of the key directions reportedly stated that the gathering should not exceed 1,500 people.

The organisers were also directed to ensure that one flank of the road remained open during the programme. The purpose of the condition was to allow traffic to continue moving and prevent major disruption in the area.

Such conditions were intended to regulate the gathering while balancing the organisers' right to hold the programme with the need to maintain public order and traffic movement.

Police Allege Large Crowd Gathered

Police alleged that the conditions imposed by the High Court were not adhered to during the programme.

According to the allegations, a large number of people gathered at the venue, exceeding the permitted limit.

The police further alleged that the crowd resulted in Cathedral Road being completely blocked, affecting vehicular movement in the area.

The alleged obstruction of traffic has been cited as one of the circumstances behind the police action.

However, the allegations will be examined as part of the investigation, and the registration of an FIR does not by itself establish criminal liability.

TMC Programme Held on Cathedral Road

The incident occurred during a programme organised by the Trinamool Congress to mark the foundation day of the Trinamool Chhatra Parishad, the party's student wing.

The event attracted a significant gathering, according to the police.

Because the programme was being held on a major road in Kolkata, the High Court had reportedly placed restrictions on the size of the gathering and required the organisers to keep part of the road open.

The police subsequently alleged that these conditions were breached during the event.

Mamata Banerjee and the Legal Proceedings

The FIR naming Mamata Banerjee follows allegations that the court's directions were violated during the TMC programme.

At this stage, the case concerns allegations made by the police, and the investigation will determine the facts and circumstances surrounding the incident.
