The Calcutta High Court on Friday directed the CBI to submit a report to the court on May 7 explaining the agency's stand on who is the competent authority to grant necessary approval for initiating the trial against the state government .
The court's dismissal of the jobs of almost 26,000 people could not have come at a worse time for the TMC, which has faced several corruption allegations since returning to power in the state in 2021.
After going through an affidavit submitted by the chief secretary on an earlier direction of the High Court, the Bench noted that the report was silent on granting prosecution sanction.
