Calcutta High Court tells police to give former TMC MLA Asit Majumder list of pending cases, if any
Justice Saugata Bhattacharyya directed the Commissioner of Chandannagar Police Commissionerate to provide him a list of criminal prosecutions, if any, pending against him
The Calcutta High Court instructed the Chandannagar police commissionerate on August 10, 2026, to furnish former Trinamool Congress MLA Asit Majumder with a list of any pending criminal cases against him. Majumder's attorney, Kalyan Banerjee, had expressed concern to the court that the former Chunchura MLA might have faced arraignment in other cases following his release on bail after an arrest on allegations of land grabbing on July 21.
Justice Saugata Bhattacharyya ordered the Commissioner of Chandannagar Police Commissionerate to deliver the list of any pending prosecutions against Majumder within a week. The CBI had confirmed in a report filed earlier that there were no outstanding criminal cases against Asit Majumder. The former MLA was arrested on July 21 and released on bail by a Magistrate court in Hooghly district the same day, following a complaint from a neighbor alleging that he had seized her property.
Majumder did not participate in the Assembly elections this year after the Trinamool Congress failed to provide him a nomination.
