But the state Govt. did not obey this and filed a review petition. After this, the state Govt. approached the Supreme Court. The hearing of West Bengal DA Arrears case was on 14. 12. 2022. But Justice Dipankar Dutt himself walked away from the case. It is good to know that earlier he was brought in place of Justice Dinesh Maheshwari.
When asked about the reason for his decision to step down, Justice Dutta said, “All the state government employees were overjoyed after I came to this bench.” That’s why I felt I should step aside. For that, the Supreme Court informed that this hearing will be held in the third week of January next year.
