Partha Chatterjee likely to walk free as witness deposition nears completion

Kolkata, Nov 10 (UNI) Former West Bengal Education Minister Partha Chatterjee is likely to be released from judicial custody soon, with the deposition of the eighth and final witness in the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) three School Service Commission (SSC) recruitment cases expected to conclude today.
According to a Supreme Court directive, Chatterjee who was granted bail by the Calcutta High Court, can only be released after the testimonies of eight witnesses across the three cases are recorded. With the process set to end today, his lawyers are expected to move the CBI’s special court in Alipore seeking his release, more than three years after his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in July 2022.
If the court issues a release order, it will be forwarded to the Presidency Correctional Home authorities and then to the private hospital in East Jadavpur, where Chatterjee is currently undergoing treatment. Subject to medical clearance, the former Minister could walk free later on Monday or on Tuesday, sources said.
