  "summary": "The Calcutta High Court has reserved its order on Abhishek Banerjee's plea against the downgrade of his security cover from Z-plus to X category following a change of government in West Bengal. The court questioned the State over its failure to conduct a fresh security review despite reported attacks on Banerjee and his family. Banerjee's lawyer alleged that the downgrade was politically motivated, while the State argued that security cover could not be claimed as a matter of right and provided no specific threat assessment warranting Z+ protection.",
