<h1>West Bengal seeks hearing before orders on ED I-PAC search case; ED asks CBI probe over seized material removal claims</h1> The West Bengal government filed a caveat in the Supreme Court in relation to Enforcement Directorate searches on I-PAC premises, requesting that no order be passed without granting it a hearing; this operates to ensure prior notice and an opportunity to be heard before any adverse ex parte order affecting the state is made in the matter. Separately, the ED moved the Calcutta High Court seeking directions for a CBI investigation against the Chief Minister on allegations of removal of documents and electronic devices from ED custody during the search; if entertained, this could result in judicially ordered transfer of investigation to the CBI and consequential proceedings based on the alleged interference with seized material.
