KOLKATA, 10 JUNE : The commissioner of  police, Howrah, Ajay Ranade has been directed by Mr Justice Sanjib Banerjee of  Calcutta High Court today to be present in the court tomorrow. The  commissioner of  police, Howrah is going to be asked to explain why police have not taken action against a local club occupying a plot of land owned by two petitioners in Salkia despite an instruction from the Chief Minister’s office to take steps in this matter and inform it .
"How can you submit that the club cannot be evicted as it is registered ?" the court asked the state counsel while hearing the matter during the day. "Are you not acting on behalf of the state" it further asked. 
Way back in 2001, the two cottah plot had been  purchased by Ms Kalyani  Mukherjee and Mr Asim Mukherjee while the club was locate on it, the petitioner’s counsel, Ramchandra Guchait submitted. When the owners of the  plot at 7/4 Jagadish Chandra Veda Vyas Lane had written to Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee seeking her intervention in getting possession, the CM had asked the commissioner of  police, Howrah to take steps.
