What is the duration of the status quo in Calcutta High Court's order on demolition of Abhishek Banerjee's office?
The Calcutta High Court directed the status quo to be maintained on the demolition till the end of July. This order is a temporary measure to prevent further action.
Consider the following statements regarding Calcutta High Court Order: 1. The Calcutta High Court directed the status quo to be maintained on the demolition of a building. 2. The matter will be heard again before a regular Bench in the court in August. 3. The demolition was ordered by the Chief Justice of India. How many of the above statements are correct?
Statement 1 is true because it directly quotes from fact 1. Statement 2 is false because there's no mention of a specific date or month in fact 2, so we can't infer August as the hearing date. Statement 3 is false because fact 1 only mentions the Calcutta High Court without specifying any authority.
Consider the following two statements: Statement-I: The demolition of Abhishek Banerjee's office was halted by the Calcutta High Court. Statement-II: This halt was due to a court order directing the status quo to be maintained till the end of July. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Statement 1 is true because it directly quotes from fact 1. Statement 2 is also true and explains why Statement 1 is true, as the court order mentioned in Statement 2 led to the halt of demolition.
