ED, CBI won't help BJP get votes in 2024 Lok Sabha elections: Mamata

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday took potshots at the BJP, saying that central agencies such as CBI and ED will not help the saffron party get votes in next year's general elections. The Trinamool Congress supremo called upon all opposition parties in the country to unite and fight the BJP together in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. "I urge all opposition parties to unitedly fight the BJP in the 2024 elections. The BJP is using the ED and the CBI to harass opposition leaders, but agencies will not help it get votes," Banerjee said while speaking at a government programme where she handed over land deeds to those who have lost their lands to river erosion at Samsherganj in Murshidabad district. She alleged that despite several requests to the BJP-led Union government, the state administration has not received any help in arresting Ganga erosion, which is a major issue in Murshidabad and Malda districts.

Accused cannot claim default bail on ground that charge sheet filed : SC

Obtaining sanction for prosecution from competent authorities is not part of the investigation and an accused cannot claim an indefeasible right of being released on default bail due to lack of such approval if the charge sheet has been filed within the allowed period, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday. A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice JB Pardiwala said whether the sanction is required or not under a statute is a question that has to be considered at the time of taking cognisance of the offence and not during inquiry or investigation. In case the sanctioning authority takes some time to accord sanction, that does not vitiate the final report filed by the investigating agency before the court, it said. The apex court said it cannot be said that obtaining sanction from the competent authorities is part of the investigation. "We find no merit in the principal argument canvassed on behalf of the appellants that a charge sheet filed without sanction is an incomplete .
