New Delhi, May 15
Terming BJP Yuva Morcha leader Priyanka Sharma’s arrest for allegedly posting West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s meme on Facebook “prima facie arbitrary”, the Supreme Court today pulled up the TMC government for delaying her release.
A Vacation Bench headed by Justice Indira Banerjee, which had ordered her release on Tuesday, threatened to initiate contempt proceedings against the state police after the petitioner’s counsel submitted that she was not released despite the court’s order.
As the West Bengal counsel said she had been released from jail at 9.40 am, the Bench asked, “Why 9.40 am today? The order was passed in your presence.” — TNS
