Calcutta HC dismisses PIL against BJP's 'Bangla Bandh'

The Calcutta High Court dismissed a plea from Sanjoy Das to declare the BJP's 12-hour 'Bangla Bandh' illegal. Das had been perpetually debarred from filing public interest litigations due to past false statements. The bandh was called in protest of police action during the 'Nabanna Abhijan' march by Chatra Samaj over a recent crime.
