The Madhya Pradesh high court’s Jabalpur bench lifted the interim stay on the arrest warrant issued against Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Abhishek Banerjee after he repeatedly failed to appear in court in connection with a defamation case filed by former MLA Akash Vijayvargiya. At a rally in Kolkata, Banerjee allegedly referred to Akash Vijayvargiya as a ‘goonda’ (thug) in November 2020, months after Vijayvargiya allegedly hit a municipal corporation employee with a cricket bat. The single bench of justice Pramod Kumar Agrawal on Wednesday said, “No one appeared for the petitioner even in the pass over round. No one has appeared on behalf of petitioner in the first round also. It seems that petitioner has lost interest in pursuing this petition.

Accordingly, the stay granted in favour of the petitioner is also vacated.” At a rally in Kolkata, Banerjee allegedly referred to Akash Vijayvargiya as a ‘goonda’ (thug) in November 2020, months …
