A city court on Saturday postponed the anticipated verdict regarding West Bengal Correctional Administration Minister Chandranath Sinha, concerning his alleged role in the irregularities of teachers' recruitment. The ruling, initially expected shortly, has been rescheduled for September 22.
During the proceedings, serious questions were raised by the judge about the thoroughness of the Enforcement Directorate's investigation, carried out over the past 11 months. This development followed Sinha's voluntary surrender to the ED on September 6, after which the court allowed him interim bail under specific conditions.
The Enforcement Directorate continues to seek further custody of Sinha, citing the need for additional investigation time. Meanwhile, Sinha maintains his innocence, stating his confidence in the judicial process, as the West Bengal governor authorized the prosecution related to appointment anomalies in primary schools.
