Justice Partha Pratim Roy of the Calcutta High Court dismissed the CPIM's petition regarding the Jadavpur bookstore, upholding the observations made by the Division Bench in the Bongaon bookstore case.
The Jadavpur No. 1 CPIM Area Committee filed a petition opposing police over-activism and attempts to remove a temporary bookstall set up near the Jadavpur 8B bus stand using a bulldozer on Saturday evening.
