Will pass blanket order barring more FIRs against Abhishek Banerjee: Calcutta HC warns State

Every day issues coming one after another based on one complaint and another. If this thing goes on, then I am telling you that I am going to pass an order for blanket injunction," said Justice Bhattacharyya. The Court noted that the repeated registration of cases was becoming a matter of concern. Now I am going to pass, relying upon Suvendu Adhikari's order passed by a coordinate bench. That I am going to pass an order directing not to register any FIR without the leave of this court," added Justice Bhattacharyya.

During the hearing, Justice Saugata Bhattacharyya took strong exception to the State government lodging multiple FIRs against the TMC leader and indicated that the Court may consider barring registration of any further FIRs against Banerjee without its permission, if complaints against him continue to be filed in similar manner.

"Why was the whistle not blown one year back? Every day issues coming one after another based on one complaint and another. If this thing goes on, then I am telling you that I am going to pass an order for blanket injunction," said Justice Bhattacharyya.

The Court noted that the repeated registration of cases was becoming a matter of concern.

"Enough is enough. From May 2026. I am hearing these matters. Now I am going to pass, relying upon Suvendu Adhikari's order passed by a coordinate bench. I am telling you, that now I am fed up. That I am going to pass an order directing not to register any FIR without the leave of this court," added Justice Bhattacharyya.

The Court was referring to an earlier order passed by a coordinate bench in proceedings involving West Bengal BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, under which further FIRs against him could not be registered without the court's permission.
