Calcutta High Court dismissed a PIL against BJP's 'Bangla Bandh' due to petitioner's bar on filing PILs.

The Calcutta High Court dismissed a plea against the BJP's 12-hour 'Bangla Bandh', ruling that the petitioner, Sanjoy Das, was barred from filing any public interest litigations (PILs) due to previous false statements. The state-wide shutdown was called by the BJP to protest against police action on participants of the 'Nabanna Abhijan' march, organized by the newly formed students' group Chatra Samaj over the rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar hospital.
