Expressing reservations over the agency's approach, a Bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi directed the West Bengal government to approach the Calcutta High Court for reconsideration of its 20 January order.

The court also asked the NIA to submit a report on its investigation to the high court in a sealed cover for independent evaluation.

"Go back to the high court and make a plea for reconsideration," Justice Bagchi told the senior counsel appearing for the West Bengal government.
