ED summons: Cal HC reserves order on Abhishek's appeal in school jobs scam

The Calcutta High Court on Thursday reserved an order on an appeal by Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee with regard to a summons by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with an alleged teaching jobs scam.

In an oral observation during the hearing, the court said that the MP should provide documents sought by the ED from him by October 10.

A division bench presided by Justice Soumen Sen said that the central agency, if dissatisfied with the replies, may summon him thereafter within October 19 or after October 26, with the intervening period being the Durga Puja festival.
