The division bench of Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam and Justice Hiranmay Bhattacharya claiming Sheikh as the “mastermind” said that “… if he is defying law, obviously the government should not be supporting him.”
On this the State Advocate General Kishore Datta maintained that the State was not supporting the absconding TMC leader.
The next hearing of the matter will be on February 26.
