Anubrat's lawyer Sandipan Ganguly said, "Anubrat Mandal has been sent a notice under Section 160 of the IPC by an officer from Lucknow. There is a protocol that needs to be followed while the CBI is sending notice under Section 160 of the IPC but that has not been followed in case of Anubrata Mondal. He is ready to cooperate but should not be arrested".On the other hand, M.B. Raju, a lawyer representing the CBI, said, "The CBI has a special manual on notices under Section 160. It is not always possible to send notices in the same area as the previous ones."The judge after listening to both the lawyers said, "Anubrata has not been proved guilty. He has got the right to get legal protection".On Wednesday, Anubrata moved the High Court seeking legal protection against the summons issued by the CBI.
