A Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court on Wednesday, December 13, 2023, granted leave to the West Bengal government to file an appeal against a Single Bench order staying proceedings on an FIR against several BJP MLAs over a complaint alleging they disrespected the national anthem.
Notices were sent by the Kolkata police to five BJP MLAs over a complaint alleging that they disrespected the national anthem when it was being sung on the West Bengal Assembly premises by ruling TMC legislators last month. BJP MLA Sankar Ghosh and others moved the High Court praying for quashing of the FIR lodged against the saffron party legislators
