A bench headed by Justice Vineet Saran will hear Ms Banerjee's plea today. Earlier, Justice Indira Banerjee, who is also from Kolkata, had opted out of a separate case related to violence in parts of Bengal after the May 2 state election verdict that gave Mamata Banerjee a massive victory. The Supreme Court is hearing petitions by the Bengal Chief Minister and state Law Minister Moloy Ghatak challenging the Calcutta High Court's refusal to take on record their affidavits in the Narada case.
