New Delhi, Mar 21 (UNI) An advocate Kalyan Bandhyopadhyay today filed a caveat in the Supreme Court praying not to do anything in the Nandigram matter without hearing the Nadigram police firing case.

The caveat filed through advocate Bijan Ghosh also says the state of West Bengal is likely to file an appeal against Calcutta High Court order dated March 15, ordering a CBI inquiry into the police firing on the farmers agitating against acquisition of their land for setting up Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in Nandigram in West Bengal, in which over 10 farmers were killed and many injured.

According to the caveator, officials from West Bengal have already reached here and the Special Leave Petition (SPL) is likely to be filed either today or tomorrow.

The High Court took suo motu cognizance of the media report and issued directions for a CBI inquiry to fix responsibility on the officials who ordered the firing.

The Left Front government in West Bengal, under pressure from all sides, has already put on hold the land acquisition.

The caveator also prayed that no interim relief be granted to the state government or its officials without hearing the case.
