The remarks were reportedly made by Chief Minister Banerjee in the wake of the High Court's decision to quash the appointment of around 24,000 teachers in its verdict in the school jobs for cash case.
The Court was hearing a property dispute case in which the trial court had held that by virtue of a will dated January 14, 1989, the wife of the testator had become absolute owner of a property.
"There is no statutory bar for an accused in custody in connection with a case to pray for grant of anticipatory bail in another case registered against him," the Orissa High Court held.
