Amid speculation that he would be fielded by the BJP for the Lok Sabha polls, Calcutta High Court judge Abhijit Ganguly said he will be resigning from his post on Tuesday, March 5.
Resignation letter to be sent to President and CJI DY Chanrachud
He is likely to contest from Tamluk Lok Sabha seat in West Bengal.
"These days I will not do any justice work, I will just remove all the cases listed with me," added the judge.
However, Justice Ganguly said he would answer all questions regarding his resignation and what is next for him only on Tuesday, March 5th. Tamluk was represented by Suvendu Adhikari then as a Trinamool MP from 2009 to 2016.
"There are so many parties....I am not going to confirm anything now. I may do something new politically," he said.
Meanwhile, the speculation of Ganguly joining the BJP increased after Suvendu Adhikari promised a surprise on March 7.
WHO IS JUSTICE GANGULY?
In 2022, Justice Abhijit Ganguly directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to probe alleged irregularities in recruitment of teachers and non-teaching staff in government schools in West Bengal.
Last year, Justice Ganguly drew the Supreme Court's ire after he gave an interview to a news channel about the pending case relating to the teachers’ recruitment scam. CJI DY Chandrachud then ordered the Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court to reassign the case to another judge, reports 'India Today'.
