The Calcutta High Court has issued a temporary restraining order against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and other TMC leaders, preventing them from making “any defamatory or incorrect statement” against Governor CV Ananda Bose on social media platforms. In its ruling, a single-judge bench led by Justice Krishna Rao issued an interim order in the defamation suit filed by the West Bengal Governor, restraining Mamata and other Trinamool Congress leaders from making any defamatory statements on social media till August 14. The high court emphasised that Governor Bose holds a constitutional authority position and cannot be subjected to personal attacks. The court observed that the right to freedom of speech and expression is not unrestricted in the guise of which defamatory statements can be made to tarnish the reputation of a person.
