Samuel questions KP authority to summon him in Narada case

Lawyers of Narada News CEO Mathew Samuel today questioned the authority of the Kolkata Police to summon him in connection with the investigation in a sting operation when a case in the matter is pending in the high court.
During the hearing, the lawyers prayed before the Calcutta High Court that since a case is pending in the court the police had no right to ask Samuel to come for questioning.
The court has asked the lawyers to give it in writing.
A city court, which had been moved by the Kolkata Police, last week directed Samuel to appear before the force within seven days in connection with the ongoing probe into the sting operation.

Earlier, the force had sent two summonses to Samuel asking him to appear before it and on both the occasions the Narada News CEO had requested it to withdraw them because the matter was sub-judice.
