The Impressive TimesThe Calcutta High Court has issued a temporary restraining order against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and other Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders. The order, in place until August 14, prevents them from making “any defamatory or incorrect statement” against Governor CV Ananda Bose on social media platforms.
This interim order was issued by a single-judge bench led by Justice Krishna Rao in response to a defamation suit filed by the West Bengal Governor. The court emphasized that Governor Bose, holding a constitutional authority position, should not be subjected to personal attacks. It underscored that while the right to freedom of speech and expression is fundamental, it does not permit making defamatory statements that could tarnish someone’s reputation.
