The Calcutta High Court (Nijjar CJ and P.C. Ghose J), acting suo motu, directed a special team of the CBI to go to Nandigram and collect material for a report to the court, and said that the police action was prima facie wholly unconstitutional. UNI reported a seven-day deadline; the CBI filed a preliminary report on 22 March 2007. The Chief Minister told the Assembly the same day that the CBI could hold the inquiry. [1][2]
