Calcutta HC

Justice Tirthankar Ghosh presided over the emergency session following instructions from Chief Justice T. S. Sivagnanam. He ordered that the judicial inquest take place at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Kalyani, in Nadia district.

A division bench, comprising Chief Justice T.S. Sivagnanam and Justice Bivas Pattanayak, instructed the state to submit the report by October 3. This order was issued in response to a public interest litigation concerning the flood situation in the state, particularly focusing on the worst-affected districts: West Midnapore, Hooghly, and Howrah.

The junior doctor allegedly became a victim because she knew details about the irregularities during Ghosh's tenure
