The Calcutta High Court on Wednesday, July 7, imposed a fine of Rs 5 lakhs on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for putting the judiciary in a bad light.  Subsequent on the imposition of Rs 5 lakhs fine, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's advocate Sanjay Basu said they would challenge the imposition of cost. "We will take steps to challenge that and I am sure we will be successful," said Basu.

The Calcutta High Court's single bench led by Justice Kausik Chanda passed the order while hearing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's election petition challenging BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari's victory from the Nandigram Constituency in the recently held state assembly polls.

At the outset of the argument, Justice Chanda refused to withdraw the case but afterwards changed his decision to say that he was rescued from the case. West Bengal Chief Minister has also moved an application to change the judge in the case and alleged that Justice Chanda has connections with BJP.
