AGARTALA, Oct 16 (TIWN): Advocates of former PWD Minister Badal Choudhury have complained against Law Minister Ratanlal Nath for holding press conference even before the hearing in Badal Choudhury’s case ended for today. The complaint to the District judge was done during hearing procedure and while Badal Choudhury's advocates were in argument with Govt lawyers.

Advocate Purushottom Roy Barman hit Ratanlal Nath for disapproving self supported Public Accounts Committee's (PAC) report of the Assembly. He asked, the Assembly in his presence and approval, gave cleanchit to the project work and funding issues but today sitting in a party office, he has denied own approval.

Barman also said, this press was done just to create a fear factor and to influence the hearing. 

"We have complained the judge about all illegal activities of the Govt and how Police denied to take the bail bond", said Purushottom Roy Barman.
