Kolkata, Nov 07: West Bengal Left Front chairman and senior CPI-M politburo leader Biman Bose today appeared before a division bench of the Calcutta High Court for the hearing of the case about his alleged contemptuous remarks against a high court judge last month. After hearing Bikash Bhattacharjee, who appeared for Bose and petitioner Idris Ali, the division bench of Justice Ashok Ganguly and Justice S P Talukdar directed Bose to file an affidavit within 10 weeks.
The matter will appear before the court after 12 weeks.
Personal appearance of Bose was, however, dispensed with till further orders.
The bench also directed that notice be served on the newspapers whose copies were submitted before the court in support of the contempt petition against Bose.

The division bench had issued a contempt rule on October 17 against Bose and directed him to personally appear before it for making alleged derogatory remarks against the court on its order banning rallies and processions between 8 am and 8 PM in the metropolis on weekdays.
Petitioner Idris Ali had alleged that Bose had made personal attacks against Justice Amitava Lala, who passed the ban order on September 29, and urged that the LF leader be punished to uphold the dignity of the court.
