The Supreme Court Tuesday permitted the CBI to withdraw its appeal against the Calcutta High Court order allowing house arrest of four leaders, including three from the TMC, in the Narada bribery case.
A vacation bench permitted Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the CBI, to take back its appeal and raise all the grievances there in the high court.
The high court had on May 21 ordered shifting of two West Bengal ministers, an MLA and a former Kolkata mayor to house arrest from jail.
On May 24, the five-judge bench of the High Court heard the case and refused the plea by CBI to adjourn the matter.
