Torrential rains overnight wreaked havoc on Calcutta High Court's operations, leaving streets waterlogged and internet services erratic.

The disruption prompted three lawyer associations at the court to urge the Acting Chief Justice to hear only those cases in which all parties were present.

Uday Shankar Chatterjee exemplifies those affected, turning back due to submerged roads fearing his car might stall.
