Justice Saugata Bhattacharya had initially proposed having Banerjee's eye condition assessed by a medical board at SSKM hospital to examine whether eye treatment could be availed in India.
The Court noted that Banerjee's choice of treatment has to be assessed against the fact that he is facing several criminal cases in which investigation is ongoing.
In this context, the Court indicated that it is not inclined to allow Banerjee's travel abroad without first getting his eye condition assessed in India to see if foreign travel is necessary.
Since Banerjee was not willing to get such an assessment done in India, the Court decided to dismiss his plea.
Hence, present application is dismissed," the Court said.

"In view of submission by the counsel for the applicant (on instructions) that he will not appear before the medical board as indicated by this court, this court finds the issue which is agitated by filing the application ought not to be kept pending further. Hence, present application is dismissed," the Court said.
