CBI moves HC to challenge Madan Mitra bail, minister gets admitted in hospital
Kolkata, Nov 3 (IBNS) The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday moved the Calcutta High Court to get revoked West Bengal Minister and Saradha ponzi scam accused Madan Mitra's bail, granted on Saturday last by the Alipore Court here, setting him free after about 11 months of captivity.
The court comprising a vacation bench of two judges can even hear the 20-page petition of the CBI later in the afternoon if copies of the same were served to the side of Mitra. The court has accepted the appeal against the granting of bail.
In an interesting development, Mitra, who was certified fit by the state-run SSKM hospital, was admitted in another South Kolkata hospital (Woodlands) following health complaints on Tuesday morning.
The issue is set to raise brows further in what is an ongoing debate about how someone with an ailing health for nearly 10 months gets a clearance certificate right after getting bail.
Some experts have also called it a farce by Mitra, terming it as a cheap tactic to avoid jail time.
Mitra is one of the chief accused in the Saradha chit fund scam case.
