Abstract
On July 7, 2021, LawBeat reported that Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kausik Chanda of the Calcutta High Court had recused from hearing West Bengal’s Chief Minister, Ms. Mamata Banerjee’s election petition challenging BJP’s Mr. Suvendhu Adhikari’s election win from Nandigram in the West Bengal Assembly Elections. Concomitantly, in his recusal order, Justice Chanda had imposed a cost of INR 5,00,000 on Banerjee for indulging in calculated psychological offensives and the vilification adopted by her to seek his recusal.
