In a significant development, senior CPI(M) leader and former Kolkata mayor Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya appeared as lawyer for BJP leader Mukul Roy in a corruption case. On Wednesday, Bikash Bhattacharya appeared for his client Muku Roy at Calcutta High Court, where BJP leader's arrest warrent was rejected. This matter is related to misappropriation of funds. 
The single bench of Justice Rajesh Malhar dismissed the warrant against Roy. Last Thursday, the Delhi High Court passed an order which said the Kolkata Police cannot take any coercive action against Mukul Roy and he can't be arrested. However, the court had asked Roy to appear before Kolkata police for questioning which he duly complied .
