Bengal asks Supreme Court to revoke bail for Cong’s Nandigram candidate

- On Tuesday, the Calcutta High Court granted interim bail to Pradhan in six cases, enabling his release to campaign for the election scheduled for October 6.
- Justice Tirthankar Ghosh granted the bail to facilitate campaign activities, observing that Pradhan was taken into custody only after filing his nomination papers for the bypoll.
- Earlier, Justice Saugata Bhattacharyya directed authorities to allow Pradhan to contest provided he secured bail in five cases, while noting issues with his status in 11 other matters.
- With campaigning ending October 4 and the Nandigram bypoll on October 6, legal uncertainty regarding Pradhan's participation remains central as the election approaches.
