Press Trust of India Kolkata

A division bench, comprising Chief Justice J N Patel and Justice Joymalyo Bagchi, refused to start suo motu proceedings against Banerjee after the matter was mentioned before it.

The division bench instead asked the lawyers to move a petition if they wanted to.

The bench also observed that they were her personal comments and that the court was not perturbed by such comments.

A section of lawyers also moved the court of Justice K J Sengupta who said that he would hear the matter at 2 PM.

Banerjee had allegedly commented during a function in the state Assembly that there were instances when court judgements had been delivered for money.
