Calcutta High Court refuses to halt rebel TMC MP's appointment as Leader of Opposition

The Calcutta High Court has refused to stay the appointment of rebel Trinamool Congress MP Ritabrata Banerjee as Leader of Opposition in the state assembly, dealing another setback to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

The court rejected Mamata's petition challenging Ritabrata Banerjee's appointment to the position, which he assumed following his departure from the ruling party.
