KOLKATA, Jan 25 : The differences between a division bench and a single judge bench of the Calcutta High Court over a particular order passed by the latter has now taken a serious turn on Thursday .

The matter on Thursday took such a serious turn that the judge of the single judge bench even accused one of the two judges of the division bench of passing a “political-biased” order.  The root of the differences are in an order passed on Wednesday by the single- judge bench of Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay directing a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe in a case of the fake caste certificates in admission for medical colleges and hospitals in the state. 

The state government, on the same day, approached the division bench of Justice Soumen Sen and Justice Uday Kumar in the matter and the division- bench immediately put a verbal stay on the order of the single- judge bench. 

However, in absence of any written order from the division bench on Wednesday, Justice Gangopadhyay asked the CBI to go ahead with the investigation by registering an FIR.  However, on Thursday, when the matter was again referred to the division bench of Justice Sen and Justice Kumar, the latter rejected the FIR. The differences started taking a serious turn from there.
