A high-profile defamation suit lodged by West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is set for a crucial hearing before the Calcutta High Court on Wednesday.

Bose initiated legal action on June 28, following Banerjee's public statements suggesting women were afraid to visit the Raj Bhavan due to recent alleged incidents of misconduct.

The case has garnered significant attention and will be heard by Justice Krishna Rao as listed on the high court’s website. This follows an earlier allegation of molestation against Bose by a Raj Bhavan contract employee, which has prompted a police enquiry despite constitutional protections for governors.
