According to news agency ANI, Advocate Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya stated that the top court has said that the order of the Calcutta HC for a CBI probe against the cabinet was 'uncalled for'. Additionally, he also said that SC has clarified that all other orders of the court will continue to be operative, except for the CBI probe order.
