Calcutta HC halts fire department’s vacate order for Abhishek Banerjee’s office till September 16
The Calcutta High Court on Friday directed the West Bengal Fire Services Department not to give effect to its order directing the occupants of two floors of a high-rise building housing TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee’s office to vacate the premises until September 16.
The direction came after the hearing of a petition filed by the Trinamool Congress challenging the September 4 order of the Fire Services Department. Justice Krishna Rao said the court would pronounce its order in the matter on September 16.
“The authorities are directed to restrain from giving any effect to the letter dated September 4, 2026,” the court said.
