Advocate Nilofar Khan, appearing for the petitioner challenging the action of the state government, told the court that the state government has also taken action against rickshaw pullers, poor people who live by running small shops.
He told that the properties of these people were confiscated and many people were forced to sell their properties to compensate for the loss during the protest. He appealed to the court to order the state government to return the money "recovered" from the protesters.
However, the state government opposed this argument and told the apex court that the model code of conduct is in place in the state due to the assembly elections and the court should maintain the status quo by not giving any decision like a refund of the recovery amount.

The court also made it clear to the state government that the code of conduct does not prevent any government from implementing the law or complying with the order of the court.
Mamta Banerjee re-appointed nephew Abhishek as party general secretary
Amidst the news of a tussle between Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee, Mamata Banerjee has once again made her nephew Abhishek Banerjee the national general secretary of the Trinamool Congress. But he handed over many such posts to senior leaders, which makes it clear that now Abhishek Banerjee will not have the powers that he used to have and now he has lost the number two position in the party.
According to the English newspaper The Telegraph, on Friday, Mamta Banerjee took this decision during the inaugural meeting of the party executive committee, which lasted in a closed room for 25 minutes. Earlier, Mamta Banerjee had abolished all the national posts of Trinamool Congress except her last week.

Hakim has now been made the coordinator between the executive committee and Mamata Banerjee. Apart from this, senior leader Arup Biswas has been made the Treasurer of Trinamool Congress.
