HC defers Mamata's plea challenging Nandigram results to June 24

The Calcutta High Court on Friday deferred the hearing of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's plea challenging her defeat from the Nandigram Assembly constituency to June 24. Last month, Banerjee's former aide Suvendu Adhikari defeated her by less than 2,000 votes. In her plea, Banerjee has accused Adhikari, who joined BJP before polls, of indulging in corrupt practices.
