    Summary The High Court at Calcutta held that the Zilla Parishad's transfer of the Ramchandrakhali ferry ghat to the Panchayat Samity during pendency of the writ petition was illegal and an attempt to circumvent court proceedings, rendering all subsequent lease agreements void. The court directed the Zilla Parishad to take back the ferry ghat within two weeks and float a fresh tender within one week thereafter, while allowing the current operator to continue operations until the new tender is issued.
