TMC MP Mahua Moitra moves Supreme Court alleging eviction from Nadia Circuit House in Bengal
The lawyer sought an urgent hearing of Ms. Moitra’s writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution to protect her fundamental rights against State action; the court said it would look into her plea for early listing
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra urged the Supreme Court on Monday, August 24, alleging she was evicted from her constituency accommodation in Nadia, West Bengal. As a Lok Sabha MP representing Krishnanagar in Nadia, she claims she has a right to stay at the Circuit House. On August 14, district officials instructed her to vacate the premises in the middle of the night.
Moitra maintains she refused to leave as directed by the administration. Her lawyer cited a crowd chanting 'Jai Shri Ram' outside the Circuit House and argued the eviction was a direct assault on federalism and an affront to court orders. The lawyer requested an urgent hearing to list Moitra's writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution, seeking protection of her fundamental rights from state action. The court stated it would examine the plea quickly.
