Expressing displeasure on the failure of the Kolkata police in filing an affidavit on the Brigade Parade Ground rally organised by the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) on December 20, 2008, the Calcutta High Court on Wednesday asked it to do so within seven days. The case will again come up for hearing on February 9.

On December 22, environmentalist Subhas Dutta had told the High Court that the organisers of the rally had openly flouted an HC directive, which bans open ovens on the ground.

Dutta said the DYFI rally was like a picnic, during which, participants dug up the ground for setting up ovens and filled it up after the rally. The High Court had asked the police to file an affidavit on the steps it has taken to comply with its earlier order on holding rallies on the ground, but the police failed to file it in due time.
