Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, December 13, 2024, Kolkata : The ongoing legal battle in the RG Kar case has taken a new turn, as Tillottama’s parents have switched legal representation once again. Karuna Nandi, a prominent lawyer, has been appointed by the family to represent them in the Supreme Court as part of the ‘Joint Platform of Doctors.’ This marks a shift from their previous legal counsel, Brinda Grover, who had represented them in the Sealdah court. Grover is no longer handling their case, and a new team of lawyers has been formed for the ongoing legal proceedings. Additionally, a different lawyer will represent the family in the Calcutta High Court.
The decision to part ways with Grover was reportedly due to dissatisfaction with her handling of the case. Allegations surfaced that Grover had not effectively presented the family’s views in court, prompting Tillottama’s parents to seek new legal representation. This shift comes after a previous change in lawyers, with Vikas Bhattacharya initially representing the family. The frequent changes in legal counsel have raised questions about the reasons behind the family’s lack of confidence in their previous lawyers.
In the latest court proceedings, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta claimed that the CBI was sharing all relevant information regarding the investigation with Tillottama’s family. However, the parents of the victim have contradicted this statement, saying they have not been informed about the progress of the case or the status report submitted to the court. They have also expressed concerns about why Grover did not address these issues on their behalf.
With the family now questioning the handling of their case, the situation appears to be growing more complicated, adding another layer of uncertainty to an already complex legal matter.
