SC asks Calcutta HC to expeditiously hear TMC plea on billboard removal

The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, declined to interfere with the Calcutta High Court's August 28 order that refused interim relief to the Trinamool Congress (TMC). The Court has directed the High Court to hear the pending plea expeditiously, noting that the party's contentions were still under consideration. This development pertains to the dispute over billboard removals in West Bengal.
