Trinamool Congress MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy on Monday moved the Calcutta High Court, challenging a notice sent to him by the police in connection with a social media post he made over the alleged rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
The Kolkata Police served the notice to the veteran politician on Sunday, asking him to appear before it.
Justice Rajarshi Bharadwaj granted permission to Roy's lawyer to file his petition challenging the notice.
The court said it will hear the petition on Tuesday.
In his social media post, the veteran TMC MP demanded that the CBI undertake "custodial interrogation" of Kolkata Police commissioner and previous principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in connection with its probe into the alleged rape and murder of the postgraduate trainee doctor.
Roy had earlier called upon the Central Bureau of Investigation, which is probing the rape and murder of a woman doctor at state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, to act fairly and demanded the custodial interrogation of former principal of the medical establishment and the CP to know "who and why floated the suicide story".
"CBI must act fairly. Custodial interrogation of former Principal and Police Commissioner is a must to know who and why floated suicide story," the TMC MP wrote in a social media post.
Roy also questioned the demolition work on the fourth floor of the state-run hospital, where the seminar hall in which the crime took place, and asked who patronised Sanjay Roy, the civic volunteer who was arrested in connection with the alleged rape and murder of the woman postgraduate trainee.
