Published: Jul 27 2024, 12 ameznews.inThe Calcutta High Court ruled on Friday that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee can make statements regarding Governor C V Ananda Bose, provided they adhere to the principles of freedom of speech and public duty.

The Governor had previously sought to restrain Banerjee from commenting on alleged incidents at Raj Bhavan, particularly after she suggested that women felt unsafe visiting the premises.
