The case relating to the arrest of four All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the Narada scam case will not be heard by the Calcutta High Court today.
According to a notification on the Calcutta High Court website, the First Bench of Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal and Justice Arijit Banerjee, which heard the matter yesterday, will not assemble today due to "unavoidable circumstances", as per Bar & Bench.
A Special CBI Court had granted bail to TMC leaders Firhad Hakim, Subrata Mukherjee, Madan Mitra and Sovan Chatterjee after they were arrested on the morning of May 17.

On the other side, Senior Advocates Abhishek Manu Singhvi and Sidharth Luthra and Advocate Kalyan Bandhopadhyay argued for a recall of the High Court's stay order.
