What Happened
Sumit Roy, an aide to Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee, approached the Supreme Court after the Calcutta High Court rejected his plea for anticipatory bail in a land-grabbing case on Monday. A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi, and Justice V. Mohana heard the appeal on Thursday. The Supreme Court subsequently granted Roy interim protection from arrest, stipulating that he must cooperate fully with the investigation and attend daily questioning sessions.
The legal proceedings follow a series of court appearances regarding multiple corruption allegations. While the High Court had previously granted conditional anticipatory bail to Roy in a separate job-related corruption case, the denial of relief in the land-grabbing matter prompted his move to the Supreme Court. The current interim order ensures Roy remains protected from arrest until the court conducts its next hearing on the matter.
