Justice Indira Banerjee on Friday recused herself from hearing a plea before the Supreme Court seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation inquiry into the post-poll violence in West Bengal, reported Live Law.

A bench of Justices Banerjee and MR Shah was hearing petitions demanding an independent inquiry into the alleged killing of Bharatiya Janata Party workers by those associated with the Trinamool Congress after the results of the Assembly election on May 2.

“I have some difficulty in hearing this matter,” Justice Banerjee, who is from West Bengal, said as the court took up the matter on Friday.
