The Calcutta High Court recently dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging the BJP's call for a bandh (strike) in Bengal, which was triggered by protests over conditions at RG Kar Medical College. The court's decision reflects its stance on the legality of political protests and bandhs. The ruling indicates that the judiciary is cautious about intervening in political matters unless there is a clear infringement of law or public order. This case underscores the complex relationship between political activism, public grievances, and judicial intervention.
