SC seeks replies over Mahua Moitra's eviction plea
In short
The Supreme Court asked West Bengal and others to respond to Mahua Moitra’s plea about being evicted from a circuit house in Nadia. She said she had been allotted a room at the state-owned property, and the court gave one week for replies.
This matters because the case concerns a sitting MP’s treatment by district officials. What is still unknown is whether the eviction allegation will be upheld.

The bench directed replies within a week and allowed a rejoinder within one week after that. The immediate consequence is a court-backed timeline for the case, while the factual basis of the eviction allegation remains to be tested.
