New Delhi (26.02.2022): The Centre on February 25, 2022 argued before the Delhi High Court, opposing former West Bengal chief secretary Alapan Bandyopadhyay’s plea challenging the transfer of his application in the proceedings against him from Kolkata to New Delhi by the CAT. Bandyopadhyay chose not to come to a meeting during the Prime Minister’s official visit to the state, which “per se, is a very serious offence.”

Solicitor general (SG) Tushar Mehta, for the Centre, argued that the convenience of a party is “completely irrelevant” and can be only one of the considerations. He told a bench of chief justice DN Patel and justice Jyoti Singh, that till the time proceedings are virtual, it does not matter if they are held in Kolkata or Delhi and the court can record his request or joint request that the hearing shall be held in virtual mode before the CAT.
