The CPI-M leader Sujan Chakraborty asked why is Roy still holding the PAC chairman’s post when his own party’s lawmakers are claiming that he lacks mental balance. “Is he kept in the position to help in financial corruption through certain exchanges?” he questioned.
The bench noted that there are so many cases where there is delay by the Speaker, and the court is often told to stay away and allow the Speaker to decide.
The bench said a petition filed for Roy's disqualification is pending before the Speaker for more than three months, the maximum period fixed in a judgement of the Supreme Court, for decision thereof.
"We want Roy to get disqualified as soon as possible. We will also mention in the petition to fix the deadline for fast redressal of the issue,” Adhikari said.
The video tapes that had surfaced ahead of the 2016 West Bengal assembly polls and persons resembling senior Trinamul Congress leaders and Mirza were seen accepting money from representatives of a fictitious company in return for favours.
The CBI recreated the sequence of events with the help of the duo.
The central agency, however, served a fresh notice asking Mukul Roy to appear before it on Saturday.
The agency which is on an overdrive to conclude the probe in the Narada pay-off scam and file chargesheet against the 13 accused against whom the FIR had been lodged by the agency had summoned 10 accused out of the 13 to record their voice samples.
The source, however, claimed that the actor-turned MP's decision to return the money did not go down well with the agency as her decision to return it could be construed as an “after-thought” following the agency's alleged threat to freeze her property of the same amount on the day of her interrogation. It probably came as a rude shock to her.
