Kolkata, March 12 Justice Jayanta Biswas of the Calcutta High Court on Wednesday directed Director-General of Police A B Vora to serve a contempt notice to State Minister for Cottage and Small-Scale Industies Narayan Biswas.

On December 18 last year, the Court had ordered a contempt notice to be served to Narayan Biswas, state minister for Cottage and Small-Scale industies, due to non-compliance of the court’s orders in a case involving a financial tussle. The minister, however, refused to accept the contempt notice.

In an earlier order, the Court had directed Biswas, also the chairman of the Handicraft Development Corporation, to pay a substantial amount to KL Surana, secretary of the corporation. As chairman of the corporation, Biswas had terminated the services of Surana after he failed to return Rs 1,300 to the corporation. But the minister, who belongs to the CPM, did not follow the order. Surana filed a petition at the State Administrative Tribunal challenging the decision of the minister. SAT directed that the corporation should pay him a part of his salary.

Narayan Biswas by ANINDYA LAHIRI on 22 Mar 2008

Please note that your report on Narayan Biswas is erronous to the extent that Mr, K.L.Surana did not approched the SAT against the action of the Corporation. He filed a writ petition before the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta and the Hon'ble Justice Jayanta Kumar Biswas passed an order on 08.12.2006, directing the Corporation to pay the subsistence allowance. This direction of the Court was not complied with and hence the contempt petition was filed by K.L.Surana. The contempt rule was issued and the Minister avoided service of the rule upon him. Thereafore the Hon'ble Judge was pleased to direct the DG to serve the rule upon the Contemnor being Narayan Biswas.The matter being W.P.C.R.C 8 of 2008 is due to appear in His Lordship's list on 09.04.2008 when Narayan Biswas should be personally present before the Court to explain his conduct. Anindya Lahiri , Advocate for Mr.K.L.Surana
